Difficult people ( Least I know)

© 2020

“Hey, I thought I told you you can’t hang out around here”
“You stole that coat from a charity shop, didn’t ya?”
“Degenerate, No-job, worthless, sponging piece of SHIT!”
“You cant sleep in the park!”
“D’you know how yer slut mother used to pay me her rent?”
“Just slide off and take that silly little skank bitch with you”

Hey you don’t need to push me – It’s ok, I’ll be gone soon

I know I make like a complete beginner, Lord
I know I do like i’ve two left hands
In the words of one group, I’m a sinner, Lord
I’m a sinner, I’m Sinner for sure
But in the words of another, I’m just damned, well

At least I know where I stand
Puts a smile on my face every time you give me your hand, yeah

My style o’ dress it don’t impress the majority, no (....somebody told me that)
The tag on the back of my hat says ‘lost and found
But I don’t much make opinions and such my priority
Stay I won’t if they don’t want me hangin’ around,...but

At least I know where I’m bound
And the song of your voice in my head is the only sound

Now my face looks like a place where nobody lives anymore
When folk see how I walk I hear talk of Darwin
If you ask my siblings, im not welcome at their doors
Can’t make amends with my friends they just wont let me in

But at least I know where I’ve been
And no picture on Earth can capture the texture of your skin,
No, No, No…

Now, I may not present the quintessential mystery
I cannot prevent to be sent to the gent with a tan
(you know the ‘horny man’)
I may not get the epithet of Human History
Or get a star part in the Big Bang grandiose plan

But at least I do what I can
And im living in heaven when you tell me I’m your man

I’m just a simple man and I’ll do whatever I can
Just so you know I love you

Now they might send me away but
Just as night follows day, you’ll know I love

They think we’re difficult people, but we’re all strange people
