Lyrics
OP SHOP MAN - 3:39
Words & Music by Grahame Staines and Owen Gray
HE SITS ALONE AT THE END OF THE BAR
TRYING TO REMEMBER HIS NAME
HE'S BEEN THERE NOW SINCE 9AM
AND IT'S CLOSING TIME AGAIN
WHAT DOES HE DO WHEN ITS 2 IN THE MORN
WHEN IT'S BITTER COLD OUTSIDE?
HE'LL TRY TO FIND A PLACE TO SLEEP
IN A DUMPSTER WHERE HE CAN HIDE
CHORUS I
OP SHOP MAN IN YOUR IVORY TOWER
PLEASE DON'T KEEP US ON HOLD
OP SHOP MAN IN YOUR IVORY TOWER
OP SHOP MAN - BE BOLD
IT SEEMS THERE'S A TIME IN HIS EARLY LIFE
THAT HE NOW WANTS TO RECALL
WHEN FANS LINED UP TO SEE HIM PERFORM
THEY WOULD SLEEP AT THE ENTRANCE DOOR.
HE PLAYED THE KEYS LIKE A MAN POSSESSED
HIS VOICE WAS AS BIG AS A MALL
BUT FAME BOUGHT HIS SHARE OF MISFORTUNE
AND THAT WAS HIS DOWNFALL
CHORUS I X 2
CHORUS II
OP SHOP MAN IN YOUR IVORY TOWER
IS IT RIGHT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD
OP SHOP MAN IN YOUR IVORY TOWER
OP SHOP MAN - BE BOLD
