lyrics

Derek

I keep getting phone calls and letters
People knocking at my door
Can you pass on a message?
Tell him that we called?
His pile of bills
Spills onto the floor
But all that I can tell them is
Derek doesn't live here any more

We haven’t spoken in ages
He left late last year
No idea where he’s staying;
Somewhere else but here
I think that Jenny
Got a postcard from Nepal
But Derek doesn't live here …

Haven’t seen him for months
and I don’t know where he’s gone
But the rest of his stuff
is clogging up the hall
And I wish that he’d come back again
’cos Mr Mittens is costing me a fortune

On the weekend in the city
I met his mother in the mall
She said, “I think that you knew Derek”
Then I saw her face just fall
Didn't talk about the details
Guess the memory’s too raw
But Derek doesn't live here
He doesn't live here
Derek doesn't live here any more

(Mr Mittens misses you but he’s gonna be ok ...)

In these songs and stories you'll find some extraordinary snapshots from an ordinary life. ... more
