Half a Person lyrics

[Verse 1]

Call me morbid, call me pale

I've spent six years on your trail

Six long years on your trail

Call me morbid, call me pale

I've spent six years on your trail

Six full years of my life on your trail

[Bridge]

And if you have five seconds to spare

Then I'll tell you the story of my life

[Chorus]

Sixteen, clumsy and shy

I went to London and I

I booked myself in at the Y.W.C.A

I said "I like it here, can I stay?

I like it here, can I stay?

Do you have a vacancy for a back-scrubber?"

[Verse 2]

She was left behind and sour

And she wrote to me equally dour

She said "In the days when you were hopelessly poor

I just liked you more"

[Chorus]

And if you have five seconds to spare

Then I'll tell you the story of my life

[Chorus]

Sixteen, clumsy and shy

I went to London and I

I booked myself in at the Y.W.C.A

I said "I like it here, can I stay?

I like it here, can I stay?

Do you have a vacancy for a back-scrubber?"

[Verse 3]

Call me morbid, call me pale

I've spent too long on your trail

Far too long chasing your tail

[Bridge]

And if you have five seconds to spare

Then I'll tell you the story of my life

[Chorus 2]

Sixteen, clumsy and shy - that's the story of my life

Sixteen, clumsy and shy: the story of my life

That's the story of my life

That's the story of my life

That's the story of my life, the story of my life

That's the story of my life

That's the story of my life

That's the story of my life

That's the story of my life

That's the story of my life
