Ballad Of Nobody Really

Julia works Monday to Friday

At the local convenience store

Selling newspapers with polite conversation

At the back of her mind, she wants more

Her heart isn't in it, but she soldiers on

Can't wait to walk out the door

Mundane routine, no job satisfaction

She thinks that her life is a bore

This is the ballad of nobody, really

It could be you and could also be me

Chucked in the bin like a takeaway tin

And left on the side for a while

Steven strolls on with a big cheeky grin

Asks Julia out on a date

He says we could see a movie or do something groovy

There's a band playing on the estate

Julia smiles, pauses for a while

Can't remember the last time she went out

So she says yes, oh I can't wait

This Saturday night's a date

This is the ballad of nobody, really

It could be you and could also be me

Everyone knows how the stories go

Although this ain't like those reality shows

Saturday came, it started to rain

Steven arrives in a cab

Wearing a whistle, he reckons that

"This will make Julia think I'm a man"

When she arrived, he couldn't believe his eye

That this was his date for the night

She was a stunner, no need to do a runner

So he said "Hi, you look nice"

This is the ballad of nobody, really

It could be you and could also be me

Everyone knows how the stories go

Although this ain't like those reality shows

The evening went well, but you never can tell

Will they get together again

He says he'll call her, the cab rounds the corner

So they part with a kiss in the doorway

Will they, won't they

Will they, won't they

Will they, won't they

Will they, won't they

This is the ballad of nobody, really

It could be you and could also be me

Chucked in the bin like a takeaway tin

And left on the side for a while

This is the ballad of nobody, really

It could be you and could also be me

Everyone knows how the stories go

Although this ain't like those reality shows

(This is the ballad of nobody, really)

(It could be you and could also be me)

(This is the ballad of nobody, really)

(It could be you and could also be me)

This is the ballad of nobody, really

It could be you and could also be me

This is the ballad of nobody, really

It could be you and could also be me
