the note - findlay napier & the bar room mountaineers lyrics

[verse 1]
in between the shopping lists
and bills, i found her note
between menus and junk mail
on an unused card for her to vote
a loaf, the papers, milk and eggs
“if you find this i am dead
there’s nothing here for me to love
i’m hangin’ by a thread.”

[chorus]
on with the jacket
head on down the street
i could do without this hassle
and god forbid i’ll meet
her and all the others
there have been one or two
that tried to flag me down
as i was passin’ through

[verse 2]
last night, her fish and chip shop hands
were gently pressed in mine
there was something there for sure
but it was just too hard to find
sheltered in a bus stop
crowds move before our feet
her head falls to my shoulder
she moves closer, shares the heat
[chorus]
on with the jacket
head on down the street
i could do without the hassle
and god forbid i’ll meet
her and all the others
there have been one or two
that tried to flag me down
as i was passin’ through

[bridge]
left their hearts shattered
i was not aware
left their hearts in tatters

[verse 3]
“cleanliness,” she said
“is next to early sunday mornings,”
as she stepped amid the heaps of clothes
and let midday through the curtains
“i see you found my note,” she calls
then showers with the door open
sings snippets from the musicals
in a voice that’s low and broken

[chorus]
oh dear me
what’s a poor boy to do
she’s not like all the others
and i’m not just passin’ through
so, on with the jacket
head down on the street
she saw right through me
i’m just like all the guys she meets
her and all the others
there have been one or two
i tried to flag them down
but they were passin’ through
