Writing On The Wall - Hazel O'Connor

Down a tunnel, in a tube

On the floor, knocked down by booze

Busy man has blown his fuse

While crossword people look for clues

I say sir, get your nose out of the paper

Take a good look at what’s going down

Get clued into the shape of

The shape of things to come

Have you seen the writing on the wall?

Have you seen the writing on the wall?

Reaching out for you it calls

Have you seen the writing on the wall?

Did you look for your cause?

Writing on the wall?

Life, I’m told’s a compromise

Lethargy in disguise

Excuses by the faint of heart

Stuck in the mud before they start

I say sir, wouldn’t you rather be on top of the world

As opposed to always travelling underneath the ground?

La-la-la-la…

I say sir, get your nose out of the paper

Take a good look at what’s going on

Get clued into the shape of

The shape of things to come
