Easy

I don’t remember where I heard it, but I heard it all the same and I believed the world could end
There was a tall man in a big car and he called me by my name, said he’d like to be my friend
He opened up the door and I climed in among the flowers he had planted on the floor
“I’ll be the engine yeah and you can be the wheels” and now there’s side-walking maggots at my door

I might be dead but if I am then I don’t mind ‘cos this is easy
There’s nobody running after me
I’m off my head and if I am what’s it to you, yeah this is easy
I am nothing I don’t want to be

There was a man who moved up north and for the first six months he wore a balaclava and a pair of shades
Though he was thought a little strange, he was such a nice chap, his manners were the envy of the friends he made
Then one day he took his shades off and people stood and stared, “My God! His eyes are green, I thought they would be blue!”
And when the balaclava followed suit, the girls all said “Oh you’re so ugly, and we got off with you!”

I might be dead but if I am then I don’t mind ‘cos this is easy
There’s nobody running after me
I’m off my head and if I am what’s it to you, yeah this is easy
I am nothing I don’t want to be
