Lyrics
Numb and Blind
Mrs Muddiman hangs washing out on wet days
she's fed up with her domestic ways
she's stopped listening to what her doctor says
so many pills and he still don't know your name
such a shame.
He's from Bombay.
her eyes stare beyond the market stall
somebody shouts and then they fall
the old ruddy man with his angry call
who's to blame?
(chorus)
Nothing went your way
you were always kind
old man went his way
love had died
now your on your own
no one sees you cry
is this all to life?
numb and blind.
She sleeps through the days that never speak
and draws the curtains to the people she'll never meet
Bingo fridays used to be a treat
but you had a row with her next door
and told the woman at number three
'what a cheek'
(chorus)
(outro)
No numbers come your way
it's not your day
little prayers that you say
to the saints each day
it don't matter anyway
they guide your way _ alright!
just like your little dog
when he dies you won't forget
to pray to him in doggy heaven
and he will listen -
'cause he loves you
it's guaranteed
and that's a fact!
