There's a man lives in my town He's never been up, but he's rarely down Everyday he takes the bus He does his work with a minimal fuss He's got a small life, big schemes High hopes, big dreams At half past eight every night He's back at home, where the bedroom light Illuminates the painful truth The needle scratches on his songs of youth He's got a warm heart, wide smile New world, old style He's a small fish in a big pond But the tide's out, he says I am a
