"Mr. Briggs" lyrics

"Mr. Briggs"

Mr Briggs is on a holiday
But he stays in his room
He's too cold to go out for his evening smoke
The lady down the hallway
Is deaf and dumb to what you say
She's too busy dreaming of a chihuahua dog

Say goodbye
Slowly drift away
To somewhere

Mr Briggs needs sleep now
He's been up for a week
He can hear a buzz buzz buzzing in his head
He has a three-bar heater
But it don't keep him warm
If he bought another then he'd have three more

Say goodbye
Slowly drift away
To somewhere

Mr Briggs while on holiday
Never left his bed
Walked around in circles but only in his head
The lady down the hallway
Is running out of pills
She could pull herself together but she knows she never will

Say goodbye
Slowly drift away
To somewhere
