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
