What will you do when things go wrong You haven't go the will to carry on Will you be reaching out For something you can't find ? Slave to the ringing telephone Your out in the street you're all alone And still you wonder why You're chilled right to the bone Evidently Mr Jones You've been away much too long And your kids they can't remember, And your kids they can't remember Who you are... ain't that a shame Had another friend called Josephine She was the one, your beauty Queen But it's all over now, she'd rather be alone Ever dream that you'd be president Even though it's evident
You haven't got the guile, you're no more than a child Evidently Mr Jones You've been away much too long And your kids they can't remember And your kids they can't remember Who you are... ain't that a shame Going round in circles, busy doing nothing Didn't have much to say, picking up little pieces Of your life... No invitations - no expectations It's not how it used to be - thinking of your Lonely winter so empty - it's always the same Evidently Mr Jones You've been away much too long And your kids they can't remember And your kids they can't remember Who you are
