Almost wanted man

 Almost wanted man

It's hard to see where you stand

Whether in the window

Or the bus station queue


Almost wanted man it is sad but it's true

I've really almost never really wanted to be you

It's not like being invisible because at least that's risible

And you can have a laugh over a can or two


But when nobody wants you

Well they might as well affront you

And tell you straight get out of town

You've never done any harm

Never looked the wrong way at a bandit with no arm

Never even argued for your due

It should not come as a shock

But I'm sure you've checked your stock

And noticed that you've run out of

Pencils to chew

Almost wanted man
