You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off You've been reading some old letters You smile and think how much you've changed All the money in the world Couldn't buy back those days
You pull back your curtains And the sun burns into your eyes You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky This is the day - your life will surely change This is the day - when things fall into place
You could've done anything - if you'd wnated And all your friends and family Think that you're lucky But the side of you they'll never see Is when you're left alone with the memories That hold your life together like glue (note: I like to think he says "glue on glue" there)
Song: Helpline Operator
intro organ G#m E 2nd inv no middle note
bassline G# B C# E x5
G#m/D# I watch the sun go down on London town I wait for the night voices to sound I smell the pain upon the breath of the lost and the lonely Oh Lord I hear the thought that whisper in the hearts of all men
I'm the helpline operator and I'll spare you the time I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine
Put your tongue into the mouthpiece And whisper in my ear Admit to me The things you can't admit to yourself Admit to me and no one else Everybody's looking for someone To tell them what they want to hear Everybody's looking for true love To help them feel what they cannot feel
I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time I'm the intimate stranger Your problems will be mine
I'm the helpline operator Helpline operator Helpline operator Helpline operator
