Down And Out
(written by Tony Banks/Phil Collins/Mike Rutherford)
It´s a good to be here!How´ve you been?
Check my bags boy!where´s my room?
Gotta sit on the phone,that´s my game,
keep up the pressure all the way!
I don´t want to beat about the bush
but none of us are getting any younger.
there´s people out there who could take your place.
A more commercial view!A fresher face!
I need a shower,take a nap
I´ll meet you in the bar,must have a rap.
there´s a lot on the line,a lot to say.
And there´s something I must tell you today.
You and I both knew the score,
You can´t go on like this for ever.
So it´s with regret I tell you now
that from this moment on,
you´re on your own!
I don´t talk round corners,right between the eyes.
If you´re slow they´ll run past you,
Stand tall,see them falling over.
I walk a straight line,right between the eyes.
But just show me the door, show me someone who´ll
do it better.
The drinks are on me,be my guest.
Smoke a cigar?Take the best.
Don´t hedge your bets,we can make a deal.
Got int in your pocket,how do you feel?
So glad that´s over,now you know,
But I´m only acting under orders.
And looking down on you from way up here.
You´ve gotta sink or swim,get off the floor!
I don´t talk round corners,right between the eyes.
If you´re slow they´ll run past you.
Stand tall,see them falling over.
I walk a straight line, right between the eyes.
But just show me the door,me someone who´ll do it better.
