Lyric The secret life of Henry
10CC - The secret life of Henry
Early morning
I m still yawning
Kiss the children
See you tonight dear
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 (hat) lies a schizophrenic brain
Oh he wants to flirt and Yes he s looking up the skirts
He want to meddle with a body
He want to tamper with your mind
Sooner or later
He s gonna rip us 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 you 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 his 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 (resistance)
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 takes 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 us his paper
He s gonna bring his fantasy
Out of the closet and into reality
Hello darlin
