| You are a social embarrassment | |
| You're a waiter in the queues | |
| At school they were teaching you | |
| To fit into a place | |
| With the thirty-five others too | |
| The only consensus of opinion was | |
| For a rain mac or a bowler hat | |
| You are alone in your bedsitter | |
| With a bed that was made for two | |
| And they couldn't work it out | |
| She was insecure | |
| And could not see it through | |
| So she's hitched off to Morocco on her own | |
| Looking for something | |
| Looking for something new | |
| How could they hear you | |
| The music was too loud | |
| And was only telling tales? | |
| Now you cannot talk to your father | |
| The years have passed and you've drifted | |
| And your brother's joined the Navy | |
| He thought he had nothing to lose | |
| I will play the music louder | |
| And let it go through | |
| Let it go through to your head | |
| How could they hear you | |
| The music was too loud | |
| And was only telling tales? |
