Excerpt From A Teenage Opera - Keith West
Written by：Keith Hopkins/Philwit
Count the days into years
His eighty two brings many fears
Yesterday's laughter turned to tears
His arms and legs don't feel so strong
His heart is weak there's something wrong
Opens windows in despair tries to breathe in some fresh air
His conscience cries get on your feet
Without you Jack the town can't eat
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Go into town don't let them down oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Go into town don't let them down oh no no
The people that live in the town don't understand
He's never been known to miss his round
It's ten o'clock the housewives yell
When Jack turns up we'll give him hell
Husbands moan at breakfast tables
No milk no eggs no marmalade labels
Mothers send their children out
To Jack's house to scream and shout
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Come into town don't let us down oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back
Come into town don't let us down oh no no
It's Sunday morning bright and clear
Lovely flowers decorate a marvellous square
People cry and walk away and think about the fateful day
Now they wish they'd given Jack more affection and respect
The little children dressed in black
Don't know what happened to old Jack
Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says
You won't come back oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says
You won't come back oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says
You won't come back oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says
You won't come back oh no no
Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true what mummy says
You won't come back oh no no
