If my friends could see me now
Driving round just like a film star
In a chauffeur -driven jam jar
If my friends could see me now,
looking out my hotel window
and two -tone daisy roots
If my friends could see me now,
Sitting in my hotel room,
Looking at the world go by
If my friends could see me now
Dressing up in my bow tie
like some outrageous prude
They would see me in the hotel
Watching late shows till the morning
Writing songs for old -time fun -filled skews
All my friends would ask me
at the people in the street
looking at the world go by
looking at the world outside
If my friends could see me now,
they would try to understand me
what on earth I'm trying to prove
All my friends would ask me
what it's all leading to you
