An Aide
Easy come, easy go, that’s just how it is,
You take, take, take them all, but only volunteers,
I should’ve known, there’d be trouble, from the first day,
You had my heart hopin’, why was it hopin’
I gave you all I had, but you were never glad, you were never glad, it seemed
To give me a fair chance, is all I ever asked,
cos what you don’t understand is…
Chorus:
I’d train as an aide for ya,
I’d even hire a maid for ya,
I’d change my name to Dave for ya,
You know I might even sing for ya, ohhhh
I would go fully insane,
Start making outrageous claims!
Yes I’d wear a tie for you, maybe,
but you won’t do the same, no, no, no, no
Black, slacks, and black shoes,
leave me looking dumb,
Tell them I was at a funeral, when they ask where I’ve come from.
Sad children, glad children, you stretch my patience far
Yeah, some days you’re not angels, but some days you are.
I gave you all I had, but you were never glad, you were never glad, it seemed
To give me a fair chance, is all I ever asked,
cos what you don’t understand is…
Chorus:
I’d train as an aide for ya,
I’d even hire a maid for ya,
I’d change my name to Dave for ya,
You know I might even sing for ya
I would go fully insane,
Start making outrageous claims!
Yes I’d wear a tie for you, maybe,
but you won’t do the same!
If I could just rewire, then it wouldn’t be quite the same,
Maybe if you let me retire, but you never, never did!
But I’d still train as an aide for ya!
Even hire a maid for ya,
I’d tell you my first name, oh yeah.
You know I might even sing for ya
I would go fully insane,
Sick of making outrageous claims!
Yes I’d would lie for you, maybe,
but you won’t do the same!
