MADNESS lyrics - Overdone

(Thompson/Foreman)



Door locked open, door locked shut

See you soon, hopefully not

I've been and gone so many times

Without a word, I've dropped no lines

Just look forward, never back

Selfish bastard, dicta-brat



Please forgive me

For the things I have done

Don't feel ashamed

If you're asked how's your son



Living here and living there

Lived at home but very rare

To see your faces it would be

A treasure locked in memory

Do drop a line, say hello Dad

I await your answer, for I also beg



Please accept me

From a baby I have come

Pain, distress and heartache

I have now overcome



Running here and running there

Often caught but never cared

Been a-courting every year

Champagne and caviar

Understand this old man

If you don't buy it, I'll still make you

Understand, I will old man

If you can't buy it, I'll still make you



Dealing low and dealing high

Money always just walked by

Visible lines now I can see

Was all this the cause of me

A letter's come, she has replied

Well, two years ago your mother died
