Jacob is a car mechanic

living life at home is funny

he knows a girl but he never got married

some say he's a cause for concern



shaky Jakey's always dancing

kids all call him up when they want some fun

10 stone but he's getting lighter

pretty soon he's gonna disappear



can you tell me about my life

just the basic detail

we can talk all night

a one way conversation



my friend Lucy doesn't like boys

when she wears her cut down T shirt

it's like she's saying 'no don't ask me'

it's a funny thing but no one ever does



can you tell me about my life

just the basic detail

we can talk all night

one way conversation



it's getting easier

now I know where I'm coming from

it's a heavy feeling

you gotta know

what you're in for

before you go



so can you tell me about my life

just the basic detail

we can talk all night

one way conversation



can you tell me about my life

I bet you're someone special

we can talk all night

I think I really need to
