Call me morbid, call me pale
I´ve spent six years on your trail
Six long years
On your trail

Call me morbid, call me pale
I´ve spent six years on your trail
Six full years of my life on your trail


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I´ll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y... W.C.A.
I said : "I like it here - can I stay?
I like it here - can I stay?
Do you have a vacancy
For a Back-scrubber?"


She was left behind, and sour
And she wrote to me, equally dour
She said : "In the days when you were
Hopelessly poor
I just liked you more..."


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I´ll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to London and I
I booked myself in at the Y... W.C.A.
I said : "I like it here - can I stay?
I like it here - can I stay?
And do you have a vacancy
For a Back-scrubber?"


Call me morbid, call me pale
I´ve spent too long on your trail
Far too long
Chasing your tail
Oh...


And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I´ll tell you the story of my life :
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
That´s the story of my life
Sixteen, clumsy and shy
The story of my life
That´s the story of my life
That´s the story of my life
That´s the story of my life
The story of my life
That´s the story of my life
That´s the story of my life
That´s the story of my life
That´s the story of my life
That´s the story of my life
That´s the story...
