[00:29.485] Climb to the top of the greasy pole
[00:33.009] Served my time in the capital
[00:36.504] Trying to say something relatable
[00:39.699] Like, "How are things in general?"
[00:43.728] I've got nothing to protect
[00:47.110] Except the image I project
[00:50.648] Strangers stop and pay respects
[00:54.246] Ask me if I'm alright
[00:59.486] In the pale morning light
[01:03.574] A simplicity calls to me
[01:10.255] Saying when they tell you they understand
[01:13.447] That's your cue to get out while you still can
[01:17.229] Cash in and cancelling all your plans
[01:20.693] Ah who could blame you?
[01:26.438] Dying to own your own property
[01:29.553] But National Trust bought the cemetery
[01:32.869] Even burning in hells not a guarantee
[01:36.344] No gravity under the apple tree
[01:40.229] Twenty degrees in February
[01:43.612] You and meteorology
[01:47.154] I owe a couple of apologies
[01:50.474] Don't ask me if I'm alright
[01:55.963] In the pale morning light
[02:00.144] A simplicity calls to me
[02:06.652] Saying when they tell you they understand
[02:09.869] That's your cue to get out while you still can
[02:13.417] Cash in and cancel all your plans
[02:17.004] You could bury everything under sand
[02:20.680] You could probably have whatever you like
[02:24.041] But you could never handle the simple life
[02:27.655] Oh you would never settle for just the signs
[02:31.585] Who could blame you?
[02:47.538] Do I look like I'm alright?
[02:52.469] In the pale morning light
[02:56.390] A simplicity calls to me
[03:02.526] Tell them I'll call them right back
[03:09.638] Yeah I'll be coming right back
