歌曲歌詞
Mr jones has a little problem
If i had eyes i’d see that it was me
He’s the size of a man with the potential of a boy
Not what god had meant a child of its to be
I’m afraid that he’ll amount to all of nothing
The joy of reading Yeats he’ll never know
And in the rat race twirl
Of our computer guided world
He stands no chance of winning
Let alone to place or show so
Lock him up and throw away the key boys
Mr jones is not like you or me
Luck him up tight
Cause if he had the chance he might
Show us that we’re wrong
And that’s the one thing we can’t be
Oh no
Mr jones wanted to be married
It seemed like such a cute thing at the time
Two peas in a pod two of a kind
Who never have to ask each other
what’s on your mind
It seemed a simple way to make them happy
And happy is such a simple way to be
And if the kept to themselves
Like two books upon a shelf
The kind you judge by the cover
And never take the time to read
Lock him up and throw away the key boys
Mr jones is not like you or me
Luck him up tight
Cause if he had the chance he might
