| So I’m walking down the road | |
| And heading towards me | |
| Is somebody I know | |
| But not like a brother | |
| He’s seen me, and we both realise | |
| That we’re going to have to put into operation | |
| The tricky manoeuvre that is | |
| Acknowledgement without breaking stride | |
| So I keep my eyes fixed firmly on the ground | |
| ‘Til I get within ten or so feet away | |
| With a nod of the head | |
| And a timely hello | |
| I can carry on walking | |
| Don’t wanna get talking | |
| Rule number one – carry on walking | |
| And anyway I don’t know his name | |
| And if I were to guess | |
| I’d guess it all wrong | |
| And I’d be there for a long time | |
| How’s it going, where’re you living | |
| Do you still see much of Steve? | |
| Are you married, are you working | |
| Do you still drink in The Swan? | |
| Inside back page, Radio Times | |
| “My Kind Of Day” with the actors and actresses… | |
| I get up about six, and I have a cold shower | |
| Switch on “Today”, Vitamin C | |
| Write some letters ’til quarter past eight | |
| When Olivia takes Oliver to school | |
| It’s about an hour’s drive | |
| To Shepperton from ours | |
| So I go through the scripts in the back of the car | |
| And if I get hungry I’ll eat a Multigrain bar | |
| Weekends are good we can walk the South Downs as a family | |
| But of course what most people never realise | |
| Is that us poor actors are out of work | |
| For ninety percent of the time | |
| Yes of course I must have missed you | |
| At the Job Club yesterday | |
| Maybe you were signing on | |
| Or finding out about free school meals | |
| Gary doesn’t live here anymore | |
| Gary doesn’t live here anymore | |
| Gary doesn’t live here anymore | |
| Gary took a dive from the second floor |
| So I' m walking down the road | |
| And heading towards me | |
| Is somebody I know | |
| But not like a brother | |
| He' s seen me, and we both realise | |
| That we' re going to have to put into operation | |
