Well, I can't make any sense of all the letters you write
It's like your pen doesn't work, he's so much better in type
Used to talk all the time, and now he don't anymore
Guess we don't have the time, it doesn't work anymore
If the band doesn't work, just get a regular job
The pressure's starting to melt into your shirt, it's a lot
Is there something we're missing?
We go out with our friends
And we sit by the Thames
Goin' fishin'
I don't need no compensation, please
Well, we don't die anymore
Cause we don't smoke anymore
We don't laugh anymore
Cause we don't joke anymore
By a cone in a car
By a boat in a chain
By a house with a moat
By a beautiful stream
By a foam of a plan
By a villa abroad
By the Portuguese coast on the Côte d'Azur
But we can go swimmin'
We go out with our friends
And we sit by the Thames
Goin' fishin'
I don't need no compensation, please
Oh, the songs that I'm singin'
They're just the kind that we like
You're brushing dust off your knuckles
But I'm too pretty to fight
I've been reelin' and linin'
I've been playin' for days
If the joke isn't landin'
Well, I'd be happy to wait
We go out with our friends
And we sit by the Thames
It's all clear now
All those happy and smiling faces
I don't need no compensation, please
If you don't love me
Well, I don't mind
We'll just sit and watch the tides
