《On The Shelf(2006 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] On The Shelf - Jake Thackray

[00:00:15] She's been left on the shelf

[00:00:19] But don't go think she's

[00:00:21] Broken-hearted

[00:00:23] Although she lives by herself

[00:00:27] She doesn't bother with tears

[00:00:30] In the morning she will fry the kipper

[00:00:33] Mash the tea

[00:00:35] Look through the window

[00:00:36] And wish that she had company

[00:00:40] But nevertheless she gets by on her own:

[00:00:46] There's just one chair underneath the table

[00:00:50] She eats her breakfast alone

[00:00:54] And she doesn't bother with tears

[00:01:00] People gossip and they say

[00:01:04] That happiness is passing her by

[00:01:08] She's quite happy in her own small way

[00:01:11] Although she tends to sigh a little

[00:01:16] She's been left on the shelf

[00:01:19] But don't go guessing

[00:01:21] She's broken-hearted

[00:01:23] Although she lives by herself

[00:01:27] She's got no time for tears

[00:01:30] In the afternoon she walks in the park

[00:01:33] Looks at the trees

[00:01:35] Sniffs the lilies and she wishes

[00:01:38] She'd got company

[00:01:40] But nevertheless she gets by on her own:

[00:01:46] Feeds the ducks from the same

[00:01:49] Old paper bag

[00:01:51] She walks home alone

[00:01:54] And she doesn't bother with tears

[00:02:00] People gossip and they say

[00:02:04] That happiness is passing her by (goodbye )

[00:02:08] She's quite happy in her own small way

[00:02:11] Although she tends to sigh a little

[00:02:16] She's been left on the shelf

[00:02:19] But don't go reckon she's broken-hearted

[00:02:23] Although she lives by herself

[00:02:27] She's got no need for tears

[00:02:30] In the evening she will watch

[00:02:31] Her telly regularly

[00:02:34] Sip her Guinness and wish that

[00:02:37] She had company

[00:02:40] But nevertheless she gets by on her own:

[00:02:46] Talks in her sleep to her hot-water bottle

[00:02:49] She she wakes up alone

[00:02:53] But she doesn't bother with tears

[00:02:57] No need to bother with tears

[00:03:01] Why should she bother with tears
