The Book Club - "What Was Said On The Landing"

Older does not always mean wiser,
And kinder is not always for the best,
So why do people ignore all the warnings?
She slept on the floor, that I swear and not in my bed.

And now he's far too cool,
To take off his jacket,
Just like the English spy,
Inside he's sweating buckets.

She said they had not spoken for weeks now,
Except for that chance encounter in the arcade,
She did not find it very amusing,
Holding his jacket while he spent the rest of his change.

And if you can't be honest with yourself,
How can you expect all around to accept your fate?
And if you can't be honest with yourself,
What was said on the landing will never change, the way, the wind blows.

Older does not always mean wiser,
Kinder is not always for the best.

And now she's far too coy,
To take off her jacket,
Just like the English spy,
She talks to no-one.

And if you can't be honest with yourself,
How can you expect all around to accept your fate?
And if you can't be honest with yourself,
What was said on the landing will never change.

Legs akimbo. ... more
