There's a pub on the corner Something to eat A table by the door To watch the people leaving work There's a street to cross Buses in the rain Glistening like diamonds Wet people waiting to get on them There's a flight of stairs It takes my breath away There's a pair of shoes I bought on sale a size too small It's a simple thing Nothing you'd remember At this very minute Someone, somewhere Does something similar There's a shop on the strip Where I buy my stamps My envelopes and paper clips Notebooks and pens I try to do my job Get frustrated and stare out of the window I watch the clock Daydream and chew on my pencil Everyday, everyday It's a simple thing Nothing you'd remember At this very minute Someone, somewhere Does something similar We're collecting dust Wearing out our socks With our heads down the toilet Stations of the cross It's a simple thing Nothing you'd remember At this very minute Someone, somewhere Does something similar We all are collecting dust We all are collecting dust It's a simple thing ahhh oooh It's a simple thing ahhh oooh We all are collecting dust
