Warning Signs

Small talk with a registered nurse

Not to cry in front of people at work

Well that's hard, hard, hard, at times you know

Get reminded of the earlier days

The end of April '78

That was a long, long, long, long time ago

And you showed a lot of warning signs

You made your own situation mine now your problem is mine

You don't want help

You don't need me

You don't look well

And you don't want anything

You don't want anything

Slim pickings when the weather is snow

Pretty winded on a bicycle

It's been quite, quite, quite, quite a row to hoe

A hot dinner on a souvenir plate

The part of town where the money ain't

But things are fine, fine, fine we're on our own

We don't want help

We don't take handouts

We won't seek sympathy

And we don't want anything, we don't want anything, we don't

Get reminded of the earlier days, April '78, long, long, long, long time ago

And you keep it bottled up inside and let it out from time to time yeah the problem's mine

I don't want help, I don't want counseling, I won't go to therapy

I won't do anything
