the train should leave at 9 but it is always a bit late
almost every morning you must hurry from the station
if you take the tunnel it can save you a few steps
but then you must remember there's a red light at the crossing
at the office we all know november will be tough
one call out of four will have to give us a new order
everyone seems happy and we have a nice new boss
he knows us all by name and says hello to us each morning but...
no one will miss you when you die
no one will think of you and cry
no one notices your brand new t-shirt
although you've done all that you should
you've been polite and you've been good
and you worked hard to lose that stupid accent
next sunday we will go and look at a new house
there are some nice ones that they're building near the station
if you can do some work yourself it wouldn't cost that much
and your man is handy and he has already built a loft bed
but...
no one will miss you when you die
no one will think of you and cry
no one notices your brand new t-shirt
although you've done all that you should
you've been polite and you've been good
and you worked hard to lose that stupid accent x 2
I remember last year we spent summer by the sea
in a rented cottage that felt almost like our own
what we'll do this year we have not decided yet
but we worked hard so we might get a few days extra off
la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
no one will miss you when you die
no one will think of you and cry
no one notices your brand new t-shirt
and though you have a brand new home
and you've invited everyone
no one can remember your address
and though you've practiced for so long and you know almost every song
no one dreams about you when they're sleeping
no one will miss you when you die
no one will think of you and cry
no one notices your brand new t-shirt
la la la la la la
