Call me morbid, call me pale <br />
I've spent six years on your trail <br />
Six long years <br />
On your trail <br />
<br />
Call me morbid, call me pale <br />
I've spent six years on your trail <br />
Six full years of my life on your trail <br />
<br />
<br />
And if you have five seconds to spare <br />
Then I'll tell you the story of my life : <br />
Sixteen, clumsy and shy <br />
I went to London and I <br />
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A. <br />
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ? <br />
I like it here - can I stay ? <br />
And do you have a vacancy <br />
For a Back-scrubber?"<br />
<br />
<br />
She was left behind, and sour <br />
And she wrote to me, equally dour <br />
She said : "In the days when you were <br />
Hopelessly poor <br />
I just liked you more..." <br />
<br />
<br />
And if you have five seconds to spare <br />
Then I'll tell you the story of my life : <br />
Sixteen, clumsy and shy <br />

<br />
<br />
Call me morbid, call me pale <br />
I've spent too long on your trail <br />
Far too long <br />
Chasing your tail <br />
Oh ... <br />
<br />
<br />
And if you have five seconds to spare <br />
Then I'll tell you the story of my life : <br />
Sixteen, clumsy and shy <br />
That's the story of my life <br />
Sixteen, clumsy and shy <br />
The story of my life <br />
That's the story of my life <br />
That's the story of my life <br />
That's the story of my life <br />
The story of my life <br />
That's the story of my life <br />
That's the story of my life
