These are the lyrics to a new song – recently composed on the ukulele
(Sad Man)
He was a sad man
Living in a sad town
Full of broken dreams
Kept his truth in his wallet
And his wallet, like his money
Was rarely seen
Such a silly man
The words he spoke
Came out obscene
They asked the jury now
And they found out
What he had been
Such is life
Don’t forget to kiss your wife
And look her in the eyes
Let life take you by surprise
Let me tell you ’bout the rich man
Living in the house
Of squalid things
It’s full of ballot papers
Favours, misbehaviours going on
Behind the scenes
Don’t be a sad man
Living in the shadow
Of someone else’s dream
