Soft Verges Songtext / Lyric

So I'm walking down the road

And heading towards me

Is somebody I know

But not like a brother

He's seen me, and we both realise

That we're going to have to put into operation

The tricky manoeuvre that is

Acknowledgement without breaking stride

So I keep my eyes fixed firmly on the ground

'Til I get within ten or so feet away

With a nod of the head

And a timely hello

I can carry on walking

Don't wanna get talking

Rule number one – carry on walking

And anyway I don't know his name

And if I were to guess

I'd guess it all wrong

And I'd be there for a long time






How's it going, where're you living

Do you still see much of Steve?

Are you married, are you working

Do you still drink in The Swan?



Inside back page, Radio Times

“My Kind Of Day” with the actors and actresses…

I get up about six, and I have a cold shower

Switch on “Today”, Vitamin C

Write some letters 'til quarter past eight

When Olivia takes Oliver to school

It's about an hour's drive

To Shepperton from ours

So I go through the scripts in the back of the car

And if I get hungry I'll eat a Multigrain bar



Weekends are good we can walk the South Downs as a family



But of course what most people never realise

Is that us poor actors are out of work

For ninety percent of the time



Yes of course I must have missed you

At the Job Club yesterday

Maybe you were signing on

Or finding out about free school meals



Gary doesn't live here anymore

Gary doesn't live here anymore

Gary doesn't live here anymore

Gary took a dive from the second floor
