I Will Have To Keep An Eye On You And Win You Back When You Are Free Again

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Today, I came unstuck By the thought of the next few months Pinned like paint to the ceiling By a strange sort of feeling Like a pot robbed of its brim Unable to stop filling I need an ear to collect my insides [Pre-Chorus 1] There's a hole in the wall Covered by the cupboard Meant to get in a man in last May [Chorus 1] I feel so sorry for myself these days I am in need of such selfish things I will have to keep an eye on you And win you back when you are free again The swooping of laces as I tie my feet The carving of a hull where the timbers meet The day he bolts, keep an eye out for a straggler on the shore [Verse 2] Not words, nor silence, nor a song came forth But a bubble of spittle which popped and dribbled Stretching its arms to the floor Rippling into an ocean of suds Rising hourly [Pre-Chorus 2] There's a man in me Somewhere in the undergrowth There's a big man waiting for to pounce [Chorus 2] I feel so sorry for myself these days I am in need of such selfish things I will have to keep an eye on you And win you back when you are free again You know him well, he's as good as they come But if he disappeared, I'd up and run Out from the undergrowth In from the port
