|
I stood at the door beside her |
|
But she wouldn't let me pass |
|
I was such a bore and I lied to her |
|
I said I didn't really want her ass |
|
I went away in the mud and rain |
|
The gang became snide and laughed |
|
I was slayed but I smiled and the pain |
|
Began to subside at last |
|
And when I got back to my hotel |
|
I wondered if the thunder meant I'd landed in hell |
|
And on the forecourt, I slipped and fell |
|
I cracked my stupid head and I heard a bell |
|
I thought, hey |
|
Somebody saved me, it happened again |
|
Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend |
|
Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven |
|
'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour |
|
I'd have wanted her forever |
|
Somebody saved me |
|
You would have thought that I'd have learned |
|
Twenty years ago or more |
|
A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned |
|
But I didn't know what lips were for |
|
I ran away in the mud and rain |
|
The weather here is never too bright |
|
She'd had an affray with her man and came |
|
For solace and the means to fight |
|
She finally bored with seducing me |
|
And took up with some geezer from the Ealing scene |
|
It nearly killed him like it would've killed me |
|
When her original man snapped his fingers and she obeyed, she obeyed |
|
But somebody saved me, it happened again |
|
Somebody saved me, yeah, I thank you, my friend |
|
Somebody saved me, from a fate worse than heaven |
|
'Cause if I'd had her for just an hour |
|
I'd have wanted her forever |
|
I don't know about guardian angels |
|
All I know about's staying alive |
|
I can't shout about spiritual labels |
|
When little ones die and big ones thrive |
|
All I know is that I've been making it |
|
And there've been times that I didn't deserve to |
|
Every show, there's been more faking it |
|
But right at the point of no return |
|
Somebody saves me, again and again |
|
Somebody saves me, I thank you, my friend |
|
Somebody saves me, from a fate worse than heaven |
|
'Cause if I blew it for a single moment |
|
I'd blow it forever |
|
But somebody saves me |
|
I took up the connection once |
|
Made me feel quite aloof |
|
I never could queue to collect my lunch |
|
While I was pursuing the truth |
|
So I left my folks in the mud and rain |
|
It always rains in Sunnyside Road |
|
I lived hippy jokes, getting stoned insane |
|
'Til the rain looked just like snow |
|
But there was a soul in whom I could depend |
|
He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed |
|
I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then |
|
And when I finally woke up clean |
|
My friend was dead, stone dead |
|
Somebody saved me, it happened again |
|
Somebody saved me, I thank you, my friend |
|
Somebody saved me, I ain't ready for heaven |
|
'Cause if I'd seen you for a second |
|
I'd have wanted to see you forever |
|
Somebody saved me |
|
Somebody saved me |
