Obscurity Knocks - The Trash Can Sinatras[00:00:00]

Lyrics by：John Douglas/Francis Reader/Paul Livingston[00:00:01]

Composed by：John Douglas/Francis Reader/Paul Livingston[00:00:02]

Always at the foot of the photograph–that's me there[00:00:18]

Snug as a thug in a mugshot pose a foul-mouthed rogue[00:00:24]

Owner of this corner and not much more[00:00:30]

Still these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards[00:00:34]

I'll pound out a tune and very soon[00:00:43]

I'll have too much to say and a dead stupid name[00:00:47]

Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran[00:00:51]

Of oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems[00:00:56]

Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers[00:01:00]

I've turned 21 I've twist I'm bust and wrong again[00:01:04]

Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two[00:01:15]

Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring[00:01:20]

In the lap of luxury it comes to mind[00:01:24]

Is this headboard hard am I a lap behind[00:01:28]

But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself[00:01:32]

Is the kind of fate I never contemplate[00:01:40]

Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind[00:01:45]

Come through I[00:01:49]

Ought to be learning I feel like a veteran[00:01:50]

Of oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems[00:01:54]

Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers[00:01:58]

I've turned 21 I've twist I'm bust and wrong again[00:02:02]

Know what it's like[00:02:07]

To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life[00:02:10]

Ever stopped to think and found out nothing was there[00:02:14]

They laugh to see such fun[00:02:29]

I'm playing blind man's bluff all by myself[00:02:32]

All by myself[00:02:37]

And they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme[00:02:39]

Ba ba bleary eyes–have you any idea[00:02:43]

Years of learning I must be a veteran[00:02:47]

Of oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems[00:02:52]

And the calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered[00:02:56]

I've turned 21 I've twist I'm bust and wrong again[00:03:00]

Ought to be learning[00:03:05]

Twist I'm bust and wrong again[00:03:07]

Feel like a veteran[00:03:10]

Twist I'm bust and wrong again[00:03:11]

Calendar's cluttered[00:03:14]

With days that are numbered[00:03:18]

And I know what it's like[00:03:21]

To sigh at the sight[00:03:24]

Of the first quarter of life[00:03:27]

And I know what it's like[00:03:31]
