He scrapes the dirt from his nails with a stick.
|
He makes a big pile in a pail on the sink.
|
Who was he?
|
Oh, I'll never tell.
|
He has not got a thing left to sell.
|
Ooh, the remnants of Percy Bass.
|
|
He glued the newspaper to the wall.
|
Skeleton closets are down the hall.
|
Nobody knows him like I do.
|
I remember when there were,
|
I remember when there were things he could do.
|
|
Some things are not made to last.
|
Ooh, the remnants of Percy Bass.
|
Some things are things like this:
|
He could catch a rabbit with one hand.
|
He could build a castle out of sand. He was
|
A handsome man.
|
He gave a tender kiss.
|
|
Nobody knows about the fancy shows you starred in
|
When you were seventeen.
|
I'll never tell about your secret life
|
To a magazine.
|
|
I can remember when you were the shallow hero.
|
It was so long ago when you were
|
Everybody's shining star.
|
You were a daydream.
|
|
But now,
|
He needs someone to hold his hand.
|
Nothing has quite worked out how he had planned.
|
I try to help him how I can.
|
But he has forgotten,
|
He has forgotten who I am.
|
|
Remember,
|
Some things are not made to last.
|
Ooo, the remnants of Percy Bass.
|
Some things are not made to last.
|
Ooo, the remnants of Percy Bass.
