On The Shelf - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]
She's been left on the shelf [00:00:15]
But don't go think she's[00:00:19]
Broken-hearted [00:00:21]
Although she lives by herself [00:00:23]
She doesn't bother with tears [00:00:27]
In the morning she will fry the kipper [00:00:30]
Mash the tea [00:00:33]
Look through the window[00:00:35]
And wish that she had company [00:00:36]
But nevertheless she gets by on her own:[00:00:40]
There's just one chair underneath the table [00:00:46]
She eats her breakfast alone[00:00:50]
And she doesn't bother with tears [00:00:54]
People gossip and they say[00:01:00]
That happiness is passing her by [00:01:04]
She's quite happy in her own small way [00:01:08]
Although she tends to sigh a little [00:01:11]
She's been left on the shelf [00:01:16]
But don't go guessing[00:01:19]
She's broken-hearted [00:01:21]
Although she lives by herself [00:01:23]
She's got no time for tears [00:01:27]
In the afternoon she walks in the park [00:01:30]
Looks at the trees [00:01:33]
Sniffs the lilies and she wishes[00:01:35]
She'd got company [00:01:38]
But nevertheless she gets by on her own:[00:01:40]
Feeds the ducks from the same[00:01:46]
Old paper bag [00:01:49]
She walks home alone [00:01:51]
And she doesn't bother with tears [00:01:54]
People gossip and they say[00:02:00]
That happiness is passing her by (goodbye ) [00:02:04]
She's quite happy in her own small way [00:02:08]
Although she tends to sigh a little [00:02:11]
She's been left on the shelf [00:02:16]
But don't go reckon she's broken-hearted [00:02:19]
Although she lives by herself [00:02:23]
She's got no need for tears [00:02:27]
In the evening she will watch[00:02:30]
Her telly regularly [00:02:31]
Sip her Guinness and wish that[00:02:34]
She had company [00:02:37]
But nevertheless she gets by on her own:[00:02:40]
Talks in her sleep to her hot-water bottle [00:02:46]
She she wakes up alone [00:02:49]
But she doesn't bother with tears [00:02:53]
No need to bother with tears [00:02:57]
Why should she bother with tears[00:03:01]
