Lyrics
Leaving early, just before the hour A few moments won't make any difference, not to me anyway The early bird catches the worm I don't really want to go in tomorrow The man will tell me off for leaving early yesterday "Close your eyes dear, never mind" And there's voices inside me They're screaming, they're telling me "That's the way we all go" There's thousands of people just like me all over But that's the way we all go What can I do when everyone's been so helpful? How can I have a right to say I'm different to you? Oh, oh, oh But I'm lost not for words or for kindness or sympathy That's the way we all go And if you're bigger you fall a bit harder But that's the way we all go There's a pain in my side it's a lesson I learned From a while ago (That's the way we all go) I'll be screaming inside, I'll be biting my nails But it won't show (That's the way we all go) There's a knock at my door as I fall to the floor But I still don't know (That's the way we all go) That the people outside shed a tear for my pride But they still won't go (That's the way we all go) Why should I think I'm alone the whole factory thinks That's the way we all go Then there's Washington, Tokyo, New York and Moscow That's the way we all go They're all crying and arguing down their telephone But that's the way we all go Then there's me standing here with my whole life to spare That's the way we all go (That's the way we all go) (That's the way we all go) (That's the way we all go) (That's the way we all go) It's easier when you know how obviously but that's how it goes Look at me now I know something that you don't 'cos that's the way we all go The turning wheel reeks of the whale and the whaler But that's the way we all go The early bird catches the worm Does the worm think that that's the way we all go?
