"My Diary" lyrics

I looked in my diary, no spaces today
A life so eventful, stacked with appointments too important to break
Lunch at the bistro, tea at the Savoy café
No time to contemplate the isolation
No second can be wasted, no space to think because
My diary is full but my life is empty
Oh yes, my diary is full but my life is empty

It's all so contemporary, the sheer pretension of it
It's all so temporary, but all so shallow really
Let me look, I might be able to squeeze you in between
No, my diary is so full I couldn't possibly meet you today
This evening is blocked out with potential investors in my lonely one-man play
Perhaps next week maybe when there are fewer functions to attend
So for now I'll pencil you in
Between the visit to my doctor, my appointment at the bank
This time it's really crucial, that's why it's written in red
My diary is my life and my life is standing on my head
Oh my diary is full but my life is empty
Oh yes my diary is full but my life

I look at your picture on my bedroom wall
I'm trying to forget you, that's why my diary is so full
Chock-a-block with engagements but it's only for show
'Cause I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
To stop my isolation, keep myself occupied
My diary is my one salvation
Names, dates, numbers, but inside I long to cancel all those entries
My diary is full but my life's empty
My diary is full but my life is empty
