[Verse 1]
Here's me, hidden in the underground
And so far I don't mind
That's why, a-ha
You'll find I'm never coming here
Buy me all the things I ask for
Nothing's too much for me
Here more often than not
A burst investigating main

[Pre-Chorus]
Never before did it seem what it used to seem
I'm right by night time, find the right time
One day I'll be getting older
And so what happens now?
On the big screen
Or should I leave it all behind?

[Chorus]
You laugh and I can never hear you
Never before did I know
A bigger chance to be congenial
Once had a go on my own

[Verse 2]
Oh no, see who's getting nearer
All efforts wasted now
That's why I'm right believing
Everything I see
What's new, "Bulldog Drummond's Peril"?
"The Tragedy of a Switchboard Operator"?
Another "Weekend World"?
[Pre-Chorus]
Never before did it seem what it used to seem
I'm packaged right like Gina Lollobrigida

[Chorus]
You laugh and I can never hear you
Never before did I know
A bigger chance to be congenial
Once had a go on my own

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
You laugh and I can never hear you
Never before did I know
A bigger chance to be congenial
Once had a go on my own
