'Cashier number 4 please' I'd like to send this to Jamaica, it's for my sister and her little boy, been living down in Kingston town, we wish we could see them some more. She says she'll come over this Christmas, though I know she hates the rain and the frost, Anyway I need 27 first class stamps, could you tell me how that'll cost? Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. Hello me duck, how are you? It's turning out nice again, I went to the doctor's this morning, and he told me to look after myself. There's not much respect for the old these days, so much as gone out the window. Anyway you just look after yourself, it was lovely to see you. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. Why can't I just have me money? You can tell that I need a drink, My girlfriend she left me this morning, I've been living right here on your street. Everybody's gone shopping but me, and I feel like I'm caught in a snare. I'm out of my head on this drug we call life, with evidence of its pain everywhere. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'd like to send this box to Brighton, it's a present for a cousin of mine, She's looking after our old grandmother, we hope to see her one last time. Allah willing we'll all be together, and we do our best to keep in touch, Anyway, I'd better put this on the scales, I hope it doesn't weigh too much. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. What do you mean I've filled out the wrong form? And my MOT is out of date? But I've got to get all the way to Wigstown, and I'm already running late. All of these letters and numbers, all on computers and shelves, that prove that I'm me, they make sure that I'm me, when I'm not even certain myself. Oh I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. I'm here on my own but together with you, All the world's within a world in the post office queue. Lyrics and music: ©2004 Pete Morton Please Click here for the 'Flying An Unknown Flag' version. |
