Lyrics
Sad Ronnie VERSE 1 Every morning when he comes home The world is still asleep. Evening time he’s woken up By children in the street. Outside the orange lamps are lighting up And traffic lights send signals through the rain. It’s all the same. Underground the trains fills up With faceless people coming home again. Oh Ronnie, why? VERSE2 Since his mother passed away, He hasn’t been too good Eating mostly takeaways The cupboard’s full of food On which the tickets give the faded price His mother paid in shillings, pounds, and pence. She did her best. An armchair outside in the rain Beside the garden’s broken, peeling fence. Oh, Ronnie, why? CHORUS Why do you live your life as if You’re going to get another go? Oh Ronnie, is this all it is? Is this all you’ll have to show? BRIDGE Nightime falling in the lane Dark thoughts trapped by window panes. Children crying in their beds Televisions empty heads. GUITAR SOLO VERSE 3 When he sleeps he hopes he’ll dream Of when he was a child. When sunshine lit the happy scene And laughter lit his eyes. He wakes And in a daze he makes some tea And thoughtlessly he pours it out for two. What did you do? He parts the curtain, looks outside But all he sees is Ronnie looking back And looking sad.
