Nowhere Fast lyrics

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world

I am a man of means (of slender means)

And every new appliance

Is like a new science

In my town

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean

And when the train goes by

It's such a sad sound

It's such a sad thing

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen

Every sensible child will know what this means

The poor and the needy

Are selfish and greedy

On her terms

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean

And when the train goes by

It's such a sad sound

It's such a sad thing

And when I'm lying in my bed

I think about life and I think about death

And neither one

Particularly appeals to me

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie

In the middle of the street and die

I'd lie down and die
