10cc – The Secret Life Of Henry lyrics

Album: Mirror Mirror

Early morning - I'm still yawning
Kiss the children - See you tonight - Big cheerio
Henry's an angel when he closes the gate
But to the station he don't want to be late
His manner changes as he steps on the train
Beneath his bowler there's a strict and frantic brain
Oh he wants to flirt and
Yes he's looking up your skirts
He wanna meddle with your body
Ohhh He wanna tamper with your mind
Sooner or later
He's gonna rip up his paper
He's gonna bring his fantasy
Out of the closet and into reality
Henry's a devil when he get to this job
Won't take a break, he want to get to the top
No getting credit when the credit is due
He wants the glory and he'll crucify you
Ten years, no promotion
Now he's gonna make them sit up [sit up]
He's been the brain behind the business
So, shut up [shut up]
And put your money where your mouth is
Sooner or later
He's gonna take the computer
and take the information
He'll make a killing in the city
and they'll never, never, never ever know
All alone, sitting in a Zanzibar
Dreamin' and schemin'
A plan of action but he won't get very far
Another skin-full
Two more tequilas and he'll rule the world
This is a rat-trap mere existence
He's really losing face with this dance
I hear he's headin' for disaster
The fool will never beat the master now
It's very late, he staggers back to the shop
There's something wrong if he's not back on the dot
It's so astounding as he falls through the door
He checks his lunch and passes out on the floor
Oh it's not his fashion
Usually keeps his passion hidden [hidden]
They'll never see him in the same way
Driven [driven]
He won't forget the things he did today
Sooner or later
He's gonna rip up his paper
He's gonna bring his fantasy
Out of the closet and into reality
Hello darling
How's your day been?
Can't complain dear
Same as usual
