Winning Numbers - The Mutton Birds

On a Belgian Airways plane

There comes an ad for credit cards

Just what language are those happy children singing?

I’m supposed to feel like joining in

I would throw the winning numbers away

And someone else can be drunk on Page One

'Cause I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places with anyone

The strip of light under your door

The night buses going by

Both of us thinking about turning on the light

But we’re not saying anything

I would throw the winning numbers away

And someone else can be drunk on Page One

'Cause I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places with anyone

And all the people that I’ve dreamed of being

They can go back to sleep

Their appointments can keep for another year

I don’t care

Thought I was travelling in a line

But it looks more like a circle

I see the muscles moving under your skin

As you turn to me again

You make me feel like joining in

I would throw the winning numbers away

And someone else can be drunk on Page One

'Cause I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places with anyone

I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places

I’m not changing places with anyone

I’m not changing places
