Shakespear's Sister - Excuse Me John lyrics

rate me

You could have been a docker<br />

You had it all<br />

Feather cut and muscles<br />

I hear you're a banker these days<br />

Well we took New York<br />

And wrapped it up in a silver shawl<br />

Yeah yeah yeah<br />

You were always kicking in the exit door<br />

While I was saving pennies<br />

For the bus back home<br />

Coming down in the afternoon<br />

Excuse me John<br />

What are you on<br />

Can you spare a bit for me<br />

To carry on<br />

Through today, 'til tonight<br />

'Cos tomorrow's out of sight<br />

Out of reach<br />

Out of it, again<br />

You carried off a billboard<br />

Twenty foot by ten<br />

And put it in your bedroom<br />

Now you can't get in<br />

So please wash your hands<br />

As you leave this century<br />

Excuse me John<br />

What are you on<br />

Can you spare a bit for me<br />

To carry on<br />

Through today, 'til tonight<br />

'Cos tomorrow's out of sight<br />

Out of reach<br />

Out of it, again<br />

Yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />

You know you want it<br />

You know you need it<br />

You know I need it too<br />

Excuse me John<br />

What are you on<br />

Can you spare a bit for me<br />

To carry on<br />

Through today, 'til tonight<br />

'Cos tomorrow's out of sight<br />

Out of reach<br />

Out of it, again
