Let’s Not Go There – Gilbert O’Sullivan

In my mind it’s not a problem
I go walking down the street
Every girl that I run into
Say’s it’s me she longs to meet
The reality of course
Could not be further from the truth
And the truth
Let’s not go there

You can talk about coincidence
As something so sublime
When it happens it just happens
To have happened at that time
Like the night you caught your best friend
With the girl you thought was yours
Thought was yours
Let’s not go there

I feel I’ve got it in me
To achieve the right result
Why then with the grades to pass
Everyone but me looks to be in
A different class

If I have so self esteem
Perhaps it has something to do
With the fact that in my mirrors
All the glass has been removed
Not that I don’t like myself I do
But mirrors never lie
Never lie
Let’s not go there

I want to be in your shoes
Don’t care about the size
Want to take the world to task
Yet everything I do just goes from good
To crass

Running round in circles
At the end of the day
First thing in the morning’s nice
You can get from where you are
To where you need
Just like in a cage with mice

At work I’ve made good progress
Promotion beckons soon
Why then when a girl walks past
Every word I utter goes from good
To crass

In my heart it’s open season
You can read it like a book
Turn to pages one to any one
See pictures that I took
There are some where it looks happy
Others where it’s broke in two
Broke in two
Let’s not go there

Had ample opportunities
Grabbed them with both feet
Why then does my empty glass
Make everyone but me look to be in
A different class

You’re at the gates of Eden
Been queuing up for hours
Finally when you’re let in
First you see a sign that says
Look but don’t touch
Then another saying
Keep off the grass
