A Normal Man | Paul Curtis

Gets out of bed

Takes a shower

Has a cup of tea

Clock strikes the hour

Off to work

Does the best he can

He’s just a normal man

Money’s tight

Lots of debt

Things he needs

Can’t afford them yet

Problems with his pension plan

He’s just a normal man

CHORUS:

Life ain’t fair, we’ve all got woes

Can’t be seen complaining

Got to cope and get on

That is that

Marital strain

Kids causing stress

Struggling with cognitive process

Wonders how this all began

He’s just a normal man

(CHORUS)

Kicks the walls

Mood starts to sink

Hits the booze

Close to the brink

The ebb he couldn’t get lower than

He’s just a normal man

Do do do do do do doo….

(CHORUS)

Stands at the edge

Of the canal

Contemplates his loss of morale

Considers terminating his lifespan

He’s just a normal man

Do do do do do do doo…

Then he rationalises that he’s loved by friends and family

Time and talking mends and brings emotional stability

(REPEAT VERSE 1)

He’s just a normal man, yeah

He’s just a normal man
