the display team - worry-sponge lyrics
[verse 1]
abandoned, used, abused or in distress?
here’s my number and address:
let me save you from this mess
dumbfounded by the m-ss of tragedy –
the relentless misery…
…but who’s looking out for me?
[verse 2]
at one time, phones were ringing off the hook;
periled people thought i wrote the book
on amateur therapy…
[pre-chorus]
that’s not me
a local samaritan…
charlatan…
bespectacled oracle…
…knows b-ll-ck-all!
…open all hours!
[chorus 1]
worldly wisdom not forthcoming;
qualified for next to nothing…
worldly wisdom not forthcoming;
qualified for next to nothing…
worldly wisdom not forthcoming;
qualified for next to nothing…
worldly wisdom not forthcoming;
qualified for next to nothing
[bridge 1]
helpless to the point of a new problem;
i want to be part of the solution!
[verse 3]
and just when the horizon slightly clears
more calamity appears!
now my shoulder’s rotten through with tears
[bridge 2]
please don’t take me for granted;
i’m only human and i also have feelings
if i get saturated, i may lose my absorbent quality
please don’t take me for granted;
i’m only human and i also have feelings
[chorus 2]
satisfied with sagely bluffing;
qualified for next to nothing…
[verse 4]
so if you harbour fear or deep regret
or a trauma that you can’t forget
i’m a useless pair of ears and yet
i remain your devoted worry-sponge
always there to take the plunge…
[outro]
…when it all goes t-ts-up
who’s the one who sits up and listens…
…sits up and listens…
…sits up and listens to you?
