Michael Caine

The good die younger

The good die younger

I am Michael Caine

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know

I see the firemen jumping from the windows

There's panic and I hear some body scream

He picks up useless paper and puts it in my pocket

I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean

I can't remember tell me what's his name

My name is Michael Caine

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

The sun is laughing it's another broken morning

I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him

He didn't seem to hear, just turned away

The quiet fellow follows and points his fingers straight at you

He had to sacrifice his pride, yes throw it all away

I am Michael Caine

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks 'round and 'round in circles

There is no place he can ever call his own

He seems to jump at the sound of the phone

Staring out the window there's nothing he can now do

All he wanted was to remain sane

He can't remember his own name

My name is Michael Caine

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep at home

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep

And all I wanted was a word or photograph to keep
