"Easy Rhyme" lyrics

The Proclaimers Lyrics

"Easy Rhyme"

Someone somewhere saw a sailor sliding down a wall
Nosy neighbours note the strangers standing in the hall

Just an easy rhyme marking the passing time
Just an easy rhyme marking the passing time
Marking the passing time

Football failures find a foreign team to share their views
Nauseating northern Britons dressed in tartan truths

Just an easy rhyme marking the passing time
Just an easy rhyme marking the passing time
Marking the passing time

A silly slip of the pen
A liver spot on the hand
A thought played out on rewind

Dowdy daughters dream the Duchess of good marriage hopes
Well begottens work their minds while naming all the Popes

Just an easy rhyme marking the passing time
Just an easy rhyme marking the passing time
Just an easy rhyme marking the passing time
Marking the passing time

Easy rhyme
Marking the passing time
Easy rhyme
Marking the passing time
