Life and Life Only (2007 Remaster) - Al Stewart

Mr Willoughby

Whose only luxury is the

Sugar in his tea

Teaches history at High

Worthington School

His clothing has remained

Unnoticeably plain

His common room technique

Suitably restrained

Though maybe too cool

Work done in the summery sun

See the cricket ball fly

Intently like a strange demented

Bird towards the sun

Considering it's flight

He pauses for a while

Ah but Mr Willoughby

We've never seen you smile

Tell me how come

Ah

But sometimes it must get lonely

Ah but it's life and life only

'Maurice ' said Renee

'Why didn't you say

That you'd be so late

The supper that I made

Is ruined again

Is there anything you'd like '

'No nothing' he replied

Standing by the stairs

Not looking in her eyes

So stupidly male

All dark and lying in bed

'You've been with

Her again' She blurts out

Then turning on her

Side begins to cry

At first he doesn't stir but

Then mumbling his words

He reaches for her hand

She shivers

But doesn't take it away

Ah

For sometimes it does get lonely

Ah but it's life and life only

Oh Smithy Smithers-Bell

Clerk from Clerkenwell

On the beach at

Bournemouth thinks he very well

May be next year in France

Inspired for a while

He decides to risk a

Smile at Mr Willoughby

Who passes polishing his glasses

Studiously averting his glance

Renee several deckchairs away

Wonders if they would be better

While Maurice is with

The kids out in the sea

And I was feeling small

Sitting on the wall

Looking at them all and

Wondering who will I be

Ah but sometimes it does get lonely

Ah but it's life and life only

Ah but it's life and life only

Ah but it's life and life only

Ah but it's life and life
