Following The Leader Lyrics - Mike Scott

Following The Leader 

[from '...And A Master Of None', 2010] 

I'm people watching staring through the rain 

With admiration and disdain. 

Looking from my flat I can see the usuals sat 

Talking, sipping on a San Miguel. 

There are those who stay and waste their time away 

And do so with a smile on their face. 

There are those who amble by and I don't know quite why. 

I'm not following their lead. 

I'm people watching staring through the rain 

With admiration and disdain. 

A washed out hyprocrite chomping on the bit 

Working out why I'm off the boil.
