Soft Verges

Em
   So I’m walking down the road and 
heading towards me

Is somebody I know, but not like a 
brother

He’s seen me, and we both realise

That we’re going to have to put into
 operation the tricky manoeuvre that
 is

Acknowledgment without breaking 
stride.


Em
So I keep my eyes fixed firmly on 
the ground,  ‘til I get within ten 
or so feet away

With a nod of the head and a timely 
hello I can carry on walking, don’t 
wanna get talking

Rule number one – carry on walking 
and anyway I don’t know his name.
And if I were to guess I’d guess it 
all wrong and I’d be there for a 
          G D Em  G D  C
long time.

Do you still see much of Steve?
        G                F
Are you married, are you working

Do you still drink in the Swan?

Inside back page, Radio Times “My 
kind of day” with the actors and 
actresses

I get up about six, and I have a 
cold shower, switch on “Today”, 
Vitamin C

Write some letters ‘til quarter past
 eight when Olivia takes Oliver to 
school.

It’s about an hour’s drive to 
Shepperton from ours


Em
So I go through the scripts in the 
back of the car

And if I get hungry I’ll eat a 
Multigrain Bar.

Weekends are good we can walk the 
South Downs as a family

But of course what most people never
 realise

Is that us poor actors are out of 
work
                               G D
For ninety percent of the time.

Yes, of course I must have missed 
you
