The Lodger

[Verse 1]

One step, two step, close the door

All my records are on the floor

No time to myself it seems

People in my lounge hanging from the beams

[Verse 2]

No time to think because the phone is ringing

Can't you see my guitar needs stringing

Then I'll play the songs I should be singing

Then I'll play the songs I should be singing

[Verse 3]

One step, two step, mind the light

Oh too late, anyway it was too bright

Your bed's too hard, well please use ours

I've always wanted to know how to sleep in cars

[Verse 4]

Don't be silly, it can't get chilly

We'll take a drive around Piccadilly

All I need is time to put my clothes on

All I ask is time to put my clothes on

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]

One step, two step, who's your friend?

Yes of course, use the one at the end

Because it's gone too far, we've started drawing lots

I feel like a platform tree, now the doc has give me shot

[Verse 6]

Now all change for the midnight movie

Grab my hand cause you might lose me

In the rush for those who try to use me

Now in the rush for those who try to use me

Yeah, yeah, no no no no
