IT’S JUST A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MR. NOBODY

GETS UP, HAS A WASH , SEES THE WEATHER’S LOOKING BLEAK

EATS HIS CEREAL AND DRINKS A CUP OF TEA

DONS HIS SUIT AND TIE AND SHAVES HALF-HEARTEDLY

-

He locks up the house and watches the bus sail by

It’s a shame that the next one’s not ‘til five to nine

Late again he boards the bus, sits down and rests his eyes

Keeps them tightly shut and starts to fantasise

-

IT’S JUST A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MR. NOBODY

FALSE BREEZES INTO WORK AND AWKWARDLY

FLIRTS WITH THE UNINTERESTED SECRETARY

SEES HER DISTANT LOOK, AND LEAVES UNCOMFORTABLY

-

On his way upstairs he grabs a coffee

From the terminally dangerous spitting drinks machine

Then sits on the leather chair in his office wearily

And dreams about how exciting his job could be

-

IT’S JUST A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MR. NOBODY

WHEN LUNCHTIME COMES HE’S READY FOR A TREAT

SANDWICHES SUFFICE BUT CHOCOLATE BARS ARE NICE

THOUGH HE REALLY SHOULD WATCH THOSE CALORIES

-

Arriving back at his desk he finds a stack of files

Hopefully they’ll occupy his mind for a while

Half-past five arrives and he manages a smile

Though he doesn’t say goodbye because it’s not his style

-

IT’S JUST A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MR. NOBODY

GET ON THE BUS AGAIN GO HOME AND MAKE THE TEA

CURL UP IN AN ARMCHAIR AND WATCH THE TV

‘TIL ELEVEN O’ CLOCK WHEN IT’S TIME TO GO TO SLEEP
