Neil Halstead – Sometimes The Wheels lyrics

Knock on the door, it’s early morning
Man in a suit says he wants to talk to me
About the big jc, who the fuck is he?

Each time that he takes a bible
Says he was a man just like you and me
Oh, woo pee dee

I don’t like his suit and I don’t like his tie
And I don’t like the fact he’s so happy
It can’t be for me, the big jc

Sometimes the wheels fall off
And sometimes you can’t get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don’t talk much

Sometimes the world moves fast
And sometimes you can’t keep up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don’t think much, no I don’t think much
No I don’t think much

Boy on the pavement, he’s looking a picture
He looks like the eighties, Oh why did it happen to me?
Twice in a life time now, twice in a life time Lord

My teenage years tryna not look like
Somebody like him, but what can I do?

Shoulder pads and belts, Morten Harket in tights
Oh, I’m sorry they’re jeans, how did ya get them on?
Will they ever come off? Will they ever come off?

Sometimes the wheels fall off
And sometimes you can’t get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don’t talk much

Sometimes the world moves fast
And sometimes you can’t keep up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don’t think much, no I don’t think much
No I don’t think much

Knock on the door, it’s early evening, it’s dangerous Dave
He’s come to break my house ‘cos he’s a dangerous sod
But I like him a lot

And we talk about music and we talk about friends
Before we realize that we don’t know much about either of them
And that’s the way things are between Dave and me

Shoulder pads and belts, Morten Harket in tights
Oh, I’m sorry they’re jeans, but how did ya get them on?
Will they ever come off? Will they ever come off?

Sometimes the world moves fast
And sometimes you can’t get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don’t talk much

Sometimes the wheels fall off
And sometimes you can’t get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don’t think much, no I don’t think much
No I don’t think much, no I don’t think much
No I don’t think much
