Sometimes The Wheels - Neil Halstead

Knock on the door

It’s early morning

Man in a suit says he wants to talk to me

About the big JC

Who the feck is he?

Says he was a man just like you and me

Oh woopeee dee

I don’t like his suit

And I don’t like his tie

I don’t like the fact he’s so happy

It can’t be for me

The big JC

Sometimes the wheels fall off

Sometimes you can’t get up

Sometimes I just sit and think

And I don’t talk much

Sometimes the world moves fast

Sometimes you can’t keep up

Sometimes I just sit and think

But I don’t think much

Boy on the pavement

He’s looking a picture

He looks like the eighties

Oh why did it happen to me?

Twice in a life time now

Twice in a life time lord

Spent my teenage years tryna not look like

Somebody like him

What can you do

Shoulderpads and belts

Morten Harket in tights

Oh I’m sorry they’re jeans

How dya get them on

Will they ever come off?

Will they ever come off

Sometimes the wheels fall off

Sometimes you can’t get up

Sometimes I just sit and think

And I don’t talk much

Sometimes the world moves fast

Sometimes you can’t keep up

Sometimes I just sit and think

But I don’t think much

Knock on the door

It’s early evening

It’s dangerous Dave

He’s come to break my house

Cos he’s a dangerous sod

But I like him a lot

And we talk about music and we talk about friends

Before we realise that we don’t know

Much about either of them

That’s the way things are

Between dave and me

Shoulderpads and belts

Morten Harket in tights

Oh I’m sorry they’re jeans

How dya get them on

Will they ever come off?

Will they ever come off

Sometimes the wheels fall off

Sometimes you can’t get up

Sometimes I just sit and think

And I don’t talk much

Sometimes the world moves fast

Sometimes you can’t keep up

Sometimes I just sit and think

But I don’t think much
