Lyrics
If he looks like he's not sleeping He ain't wiped around his mouth now Cannot tell his east from west Neither tell his north from south Don't you take him to no doctor Don't tell the nurse he's feeling bad Further down the road you'll see He's got a load of what I had If he seems drunk at 9 in the morning If his eyes, they are glazed, they are red Don't wave your hand in front of his face Just put him straight back to bed He's got what I had when I shaved off all my hair When I walked close to the cliff edge, still closer to despair He's got what I had, he's inconsolable and blue Ask him what he's got: he's got you If you see somebody walking Looks like she's sleeping on the streets No doubt you might feel sympathetic Wonder how she came to be Likelihood she's lost her house now Don't see her daughter or her son There's a weight on all our shoulders But this one's carrying a ton If her temperature is rising If her pulse is hard to find One tune going round and round in her skull Presley's 'Always On My Mind' She's got what I had when I shaved off all my hair When I walked close to the cliff edge, still closer to despair She's got what I had, she's inconsolable and blue Ask her what she's got: she's got you Romance comes in every form and every size Holds you closely, looks you in the eyes Squeezes tighter, will not let you go Till face you can't recall and name you do not know They've got what we had when we shaved off all our hair When we walked close to the cliff edge, still closer to despair They've got what we had, they're inconsolable and blue Ask them what they've got: they've got you
