lyrics

A True Professional

Hello my dear it’s nice to see you
Can’t talk for long I’ve got to fly
I’ve got these books to do
Before I go home to my kids
A true professional am I

You want to talk about your troubles
And how they make you want to die
But, what you confide in me
I must pass on, you see my dear
A true professional am I

Why is it me you come to see?
Do you know what it does to me?
I want to find the bastards who
Could have done this to you
Is no one there to take good care of you

You want to tell me all your troubles
Well my own troubles make me cry
My wife she must have been
Like you when she was 15, see
A true professional am I

Solo

Why is it me you come to see?
What is it that you see in me?
I want to take you in my arms
I guess you want that too
Will no one else please take good care of you?

I am not qualified to help you
There’s social workers who can try
But there’s some things they can’t do
Can’t mention love its true, because
A true professional am I
A true professional am I

Well, actually a Terrace-in-Milton-Keynes industry. Every album is different to the others, and none of them quite fit in with where all the Cool Stuff is. Outsider Art? This stuff is from a different planet. ... more
