on my way to work

Singer: paul mccartney

on my way to work

i rode a big green bus

i could see everything

from the upper deck

people came and went

smoking cigarettes

i picked the packets up

when the people left

but all the time i thought of you

how far away the future seemed

how could i have so many dreams?

and one of them not come true

on my way to work

i bought a magazine

inside a pretty girl

liked to water-ski

she came from chichester

to study history

she had removed her clothes

for the likes of me

but all the time i thought of you

how would you know that i was there

how could i soul-search everywhere

without knowing what to do

on my way to work

as i was clocking in

i could see everything

how it came to be

people come and go

smoking cigarettes

i pick the packets up

when the people leave

but all the time i think of you

how far away the future seems

how could i have so many dreams

and one of them not come true

on my way to work

but all the time i thought of you

how would you know that i was there

how could i soul search everywhere

without knowing what to do

on my way to work
