There's a guy (sung by Lucy Wainwright Roche & Suzzy Roche) There's a guy in red (sneakers) Lives in this place (yes) dark brown eyes (and at all baby-face) he wears a (backwards) baseball cap (I tiptoe around) (when he takes a nap) Over there his socks on the chair (On the back of the door) (?) his underwear He's (sixty) years' old (and works) like (?) He's a man (of) few words (and) thinks out of the box He likes to eat cookies And drink cheap champagne He washes the windows And (unclogs the drain) (?) take the garbage (?) (brown) (?) He's braver than (Tarzan?) (Frightened of mice) It's been twenty (and some) years (we've?) (?) In this apartment Somewhere downtown At times people ask me What's up with us The question (?) by me Like (?) You think by now I know (?) But I probably fail (?) When he walks in the room He never says hi Just opens the door (And) (?) He only (?) never (?) And I laugh aloud (At most) (of his) jokes I don't understand But oh never mind (If there's) (one thing) (about him) He's kind I have my (troubles) I have my (mojo?) I go up and down Like a child (?) One thing is for sure There's no place like home Especially when you (?) Someone (will can be) explain (?) Who picks up your heart When it falls on the ground There's a guy in red (sneakers) Lives in this place (yes) dark brown eyes (and at all baby-face) |
