You never ring, you never write, you never fax

Sarah plucks her eyebrows and steals a cigarette
From under the nose of the one she
Supposes is as good as she's gonna get
If it wasn't for her family situation
If it wasn't for his little red Corvette
If it wasn't for their forthcoming engagement
She'd be running away from him
Far far away from him
Forgetting they ever met
On her own under the pale moonlight
On her own under the pale moonlight
Well little Jimmy feels like Oliver Twist
He's on the Victorian rock and roll
The government have granted him a brand new faggin' bowl
If it wasn't for his scrapheap education
If it wasn't for his poverty strike struck strove
If it wasn't for the money dispensed on the defence of his nation
He'd be fed and clothed and fit and
Well to climb right out of that hole
On his own under the pale moonlight
On his own under the pale moonlight
The Shakespeares have got every bohemian qualification
They've got a photocopy of their upwardly mobile home
If it wasn't for the advertising screening
If it wasn't for the price of a portable phone
If it wasn't for that dinner party this evening
You know, I get the feeling that they'd rather be a little more alone
On their own under the pale moonlight
Just to be on their own under the pale moonlight
Everything goes round in circles
And the ties that bind you feel like they'll never end
This boat is sinking
You know, I heard it leaking
And this is a fine time to leave me my friend
And you're asking me when it was that I first fell in love with you
You're asking me to tell you and to tell you true
It wasn't for the look in your eyes that evening
And it wasn't what happened later that night
It was the sight of you, your face
Turned up to that impossible blue light
The pale moonlight
The pale, the pale moonlight
Comin' down from above
To the next up in the state of madness
