Lyrics
Watch
I have a job
I have a motor car
I have a passport
But don’t go too far
I have field glasses
An accurate map
All within reach
There’s no handicap
I keep a close watch on the words you say
I keep a close watch on the interplay
I keep a close watch on the things you do
I keep a close watch on you
I have a life
And acquaintances
I have a good home
Secure finances
I‘ve obligations
And a sense of place
Two obsessions
And a travel case.
I keep a close watch as the pattern grow
I keep a close watch on the tracks in snow
I keep a close watch on anything new
I keep a close watch on you
Some recordings
And a 3 month log
I have night goggles
I see through the fog
I have a timeline
And an outcome planned
Some documents
And I’ll get those scanned.
I keep a close watch on your DNA
I keep a close watch on the games you play
I keep a close watch but don’t misconstrue
I keep a close watch on you
I have neighbours
And a plain blue van
I have collections
And a tested plan
I have field glasses
And a special place
All within reach
And a “just in case”
I keep a close watch on you night & day
I keep a close watch on your resume
I keep a close watch and the point accrue
I keep a close watch on you
I keep a close watch on the words you say
I keep a close watch on the interplay
I keep a close watch on the things you do
I keep a close watch on you
