Ladies and Gentlemen

Well let's put pen to paper and see What can I do to make me feel free And drag me away from the boredom I've seen You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Well what can I do to make use of this day? And not let time just fritter away I've nothing else to say other than to repeat You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Well talk is cheap and inspiration ain't free You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Talk is cheap and inspiration ain't free You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Well let's put boots on the warehouse floor Build something out of iron and ore And make something like it isn't a chore I've never been the kind to ask for more But here we are, a beginning and end Typing out new letters to send I've nothing else to say other than to repeat You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Well talk is cheap and inspiration ain't free You never saw my friends and you didn't see me I've nothing else to say other than to repeat You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Well what can I do to make use of this day? Now that I've let time fritter away The night's still young enough to make a scene And dive into the deep end, follow me Through the twists and turns of a life well-done Even tarquin knows how to have fun But for some it doesn't come as easily You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Well talk is cheap and inspiration ain't free You never saw my friends and you didn't see me Talk is cheap and inspiration ain't free You never saw my friends and you didn't see me
