I stood at the door beside her
|
But she wouldn't let me pass
|
I was such a boor and I lied to her
|
I said I didn't really want her ass
|
I went away in the mud and rain
|
The gang became snide and laughed
|
I was slayed but I smiled and the pain
|
Began to subside at last
|
|
And when I got back to my hotel
|
I wondered if the thunder meant I'd landed in hell
|
And on the forecourt I slipped and fell
|
I cracked my stupid head and I heard a bell
|
I thought "Hey! Hey, hey!"
|
|
Somebody saved me - it happened again
|
Somebody saved me - I thank you my friend
|
Somebody saved me - from a fate worse than heaven
|
'Cause if I had her for just an hour
|
I'd have wanted her forever
|
|
You would've thought that I'd have learned
|
Twenty years ago or more
|
A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned
|
But I didn't know what lips were for
|
I ran away in the mud and rain
|
The weather here is never too bright
|
She'd had an affray with her man and came
|
For solace and the means to fight
|
|
She finally bored with seducing me
|
And took up with some geezer from the Ealing scene
|
It nearly killed him like it would've killed me
|
When her original man snapped his fingers and she obeyed
|
She obeyed!
|
|
Somebody saved me - it happened again
|
Somebody saved me - I thank you my friend
|
Somebody saved me - from a fate worse than heaven
|
'Cause if I had her for just an hour
|
I'd have wanted her forever
|
Somebody saved me, yeah
|
Somebody saved me
|
|
I don't know about guardian angels
|
All I know about's staying alive
|
I can't shout about spiritual labels
|
When little ones die and big ones thrive
|
All I know is that I've been making it
|
There've been times I didn't deserve to
|
Every show there's been more faking it
|
But right at the point of no return
|
|
Somebody saves me - and it happened again
|
Somebody saved me - I thank you my friend
|
Somebody saved me - from a fate worse than heaven
|
'Cause if I blew it for a single moment
|
I'd blow it forever
|
But somebody saved me
|
|
I took up the connection once
|
Made me feel quite aloof
|
I never could queue to collect my lunch
|
While I was pursuing the Truth
|
I left my folks in the mud and rain
|
It always rains in Sunnyside Road
|
I lived hippy jokes getting stoned insane
|
Till the rain looked just like snow
|
But there was a soul in whom I could depend
|
He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed
|
I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then
|
And when I finally woke up clean
|
My friend was dead - stone dead
|
|
But somebody saved me - it happened again
|
Somebody saved me - I thank you my friend
|
Somebody saved me - I ain't ready for heaven
|
'Cause if I'd seen you for a second, I'd have wanted to see you forever
|
But somebody saved me
|
Somebody saved me
|
Ooh, somebody saved me
|
