May I borrow
a minute of your time?
I
know you ain't got much,
you're running everywhere
With your two kids to care for And the dinner to get ready
For your man
For your man, oh
And the dishes to wash
And the washing machine
Do you remember
East Hall School?
I used to pick you
up and then back
to your kitchen
Drinking tea in the afternoon Our
bellies ached because we lost four hours
We couldn't stop
our laugh Do you remember
this tunnel?
Where we went to see
Ruby Tuesday?
We recorded it on an old cassette
You were
fancying
about Marlowe and Richard Because Keith was too old
Do you remember
the fountain
near the forest?
Where
we used to sit on a wall?
Talking for hours about our
futures We should have had a wedding on the same day
And well, Doc Martens On top of my dresses
I went back
to the fountain We cannot sit on the wall
Anymore
Someone put heavy railings on it
And the water doesn't flow that much at all
Must have gone under the bridge
May I borrow a minute
of your time?
I know you ain't got much, you're an adult
Now,
when we were
fifteen If we could have seen
our lives now
Do you think we would have been proud?
Do you think we would have been proud?
Goodbye,
Ruby Tuesday
Oh,
goodbye,
Ruby Tuesday
