[00:00:00] Obscurity Knocks - The Trash Can Sinatras

[00:00:01] Lyrics by：John Douglas/Francis Reader/Paul Livingston

[00:00:02] Composed by：John Douglas/Francis Reader/Paul Livingston

[00:00:18] Always at the foot of the photograph–that's me there

[00:00:24] Snug as a thug in a mugshot pose a foul-mouthed rogue

[00:00:30] Owner of this corner and not much more

[00:00:34] Still these days I'm better placed to get my just rewards

[00:00:43] I'll pound out a tune and very soon

[00:00:47] I'll have too much to say and a dead stupid name

[00:00:51] Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran

[00:00:56] Of oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems

[00:01:00] Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers

[00:01:04] I've turned 21 I've twist I'm bust and wrong again

[00:01:15] Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two

[00:01:20] Looking at my watch and I'm half-past caring

[00:01:24] In the lap of luxury it comes to mind

[00:01:28] Is this headboard hard am I a lap behind

[00:01:32] But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself

[00:01:40] Is the kind of fate I never contemplate

[00:01:45] Lots of people would cry though none spring to mind

[00:01:49] Come through I

[00:01:50] Ought to be learning I feel like a veteran

[00:01:54] Of oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems

[00:01:58] Calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers

[00:02:02] I've turned 21 I've twist I'm bust and wrong again

[00:02:07] Know what it's like

[00:02:10] To sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life

[00:02:14] Ever stopped to think and found out nothing was there

[00:02:29] They laugh to see such fun

[00:02:32] I'm playing blind man's bluff all by myself

[00:02:37] All by myself

[00:02:39] And they're chanting a line from a nursery rhyme

[00:02:43] Ba ba bleary eyes–have you any idea

[00:02:47] Years of learning I must be a veteran

[00:02:52] Of oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems

[00:02:56] And the calendar's cluttered with days that are numbered

[00:03:00] I've turned 21 I've twist I'm bust and wrong again

[00:03:05] Ought to be learning

[00:03:07] Twist I'm bust and wrong again

[00:03:10] Feel like a veteran

[00:03:11] Twist I'm bust and wrong again

[00:03:14] Calendar's cluttered

[00:03:18] With days that are numbered

[00:03:21] And I know what it's like

[00:03:24] To sigh at the sight

[00:03:27] Of the first quarter of life

[00:03:31] And I know what it's like
