1.Jonathan David
I know you like her
Well I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There's still room on my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
Well, I'd thought about her
I dreamed she'd come, I'd make my escape
I thought she liked me but somehow I was wrong
I know you don't want it this way
But it's OK
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love there's no other way
And I will make it some day
I know you like her
Well I like her too
I know she likes you
It's not as if I'm being sent off to war
There are worse things in this world
There's still room on my wooden horse for two
I was Jonathan to your David
You're still king
Visions of love recollected
Have we ever been true？
I know that I have, it's time for you to go
It's all in the stones that you throw
I want you to know
It's not like we'll be parted
It's not like we'll never know love
And she'll smile for you
She'll hold your hand
You'll be in love there's no other way
People say that
'We'll never change'
'We'll never change'
But I have
You and her in the local newspaper
You will be married and you'll be gone
Married and you'll be gone
2.Take Your Carriage Clock And Shove It
In the boardroom the quiet man takes a
Second to think what to do
He's out of his seat and he's starting to speak
And he hears his own voice
For years and years he's done nothing but bow down and
put up with all her demands
She sits like a viper and offers the clock
Without giving a damn
He takes it
'Honour forbids me but honour be damned
You have whined till you got what you want
I did the work and when things were going badly
You left us to rot'
He locked the door of the boardroom
And turned like the scene from the old country song
Towering over the table he's lost
He's drunk with it all
'You only
Came back to us when we'd turned it around
When we'd rescued your arse from the fire
Your contribution to all that we did was to say
it was dire'
'Night after day after night I've been working
Despite of you fucking us all
Now I'm going to die I don't care if you cry
Just please leave me alone
And spare tears for yourself
We've had those till we were sick
You should leave while you still have the chance'
The others were shocked at this shameful disgrace
At the end of an honoured career
He paused in the silence to pull down his tie
And observe the melee
3.The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner
I'll take a second of the day to think about the things that we
have
Done this year
The dog lies down, the pouring rain
I'm underneath the smoker's railway arch again
The future's looking colourful
It's the colour of blood, chaos and corruption of a happy soul
A happy soul will
Ride in the field
Till the rain dies down
The railway ticket states a destination
But it doesn't mean that we will show
There's a fork up on the line
We paid the guard to switch the sign, and off we go
The future's looking wonderful
It's the wonder of a businessman's conspiracy to sell your wares
And no one cares
Oh you care, I know
You care, I forgot for a while
On a sulky afternoon spent in dispute
You'll give yourself a headache, boy
So I will take revenge in stories and in dreaming of the time
when
We're on stage
'Have you seen The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner？'
When he stops the race and looks around
I left the stage
'You've seen it now'
I walked to the station
I wish you follow me tonight
