  • On my way to work, I rode a big green bus
    I could see everything from the upper deck
    People came and went, smoking cigarettes
    I picked the packets up when the people left

    But all the time I thought of you
    How far away the future seemed
    How could I have so many dreams
    And one of them not come true?

    On my way to work, I bought a magazine
    Inside a pretty girl liked to water ski
    She came from Chichester to study history
    She had removed her clothes for the likes of me

    But all the time I thought of you
    How would you know that I was there?
    How could I soul-search everywhere
    Without knowing what to do?

    On my way to work, as I was clocking in
    I could see everything, how it came to be
    People come and go, smoking cigarettes
    I pick the packets up when the people leave

    But all the time I think of you
    How far away the future seems
    How could I have so many dreams
    And one of them not come true?

    On my way to work

    But all the time I thought of you
    How would you know that I was there?
    How could I soul-search everywhere
    Without knowing what to do?
