sanity inspector

he comes home at five o'clock

his day's work is done

living life with the job he's got

can't be too much fun

leaning on the gate on sunday

watching his children play

his wife's so happy in her semi-detached

on her face

no despair

the sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool

everyone is taking him for a fool

things don't seem to get much better

he's startin' to look so sad

looking after lots of people

it's gonna drive him mad

looks in the mirror with his eyes shut tight

afraid of what is there

bad times are fallin' on his happy home

but no one seems to care

the sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool

everyone is taking him for a fool

the sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool

everyone is taking him for a fool

the sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool

everyone is taking him for a fool
