Captain Sensible Secrets Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crowds of men with eyes that shine
Stagger down the railway line
They've been at the turpentine
But I don't think it's odd
Secrets in the fading light
Your deodorant's alright
Charity begins at night
But I don't think it's odd

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been watching from the window
I've been watching from the door
But I'm not sure
No, I'm just not sure

[Chorus]
If this is what you want
After all you said
Johnny always pushed in front
But now poor Johnny's dead
I guess the moral is
Don't be someone else's gear

[Verse 2]
Secrets on the radar screen
Wonder where those dots have been
You won't live to be nineteen
But don't you think it's odd?
Secrets in the afterglow
Soldiers aren't supposed to know
Until the doctor says hello
Do you believe in God?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been hanging round in Brighton
I've been hanging round the pier
It's lovely here
But it seems so queer

[Chorus]
If this is what you want
After all it did
Screwed your head on back-to-front
Look at poor old Syd
I guess the moral is
Don't wear someone else's gear

[Verse 3]
Secrets in atomic piles
Up and down the British Isles
Every time a shopgirl smiles
No one thinks it's odd
Secrets that I can't reveal
Sorry but my lips are sealed
If you knew the way I feel
You might think it's odd

[Verse 4]
Secrets that you'll never see
Though you're sitting next to me
I'm where you can never be
But I don't think it's odd
Secrets that you'll never know
Dating back so long ago
Burning in the radio
Do you believe in God?
