Busman's Holiday - (william Crescent Gets) Fired Lyrics

(William Cresent Gets) Fired

My ego is in tatters,
As if that really matters, as if that matters at all.
And I've been around the world,
Kissed all the pretty girls,
And have always been on time.
So now I find it hard to conceive that
I'm about to receive a slip that's colored wrong.

Why would you say to me
It's not my 'fault, it's the company's?'
This isn't the way my life was supposed to be.
I should be enjoying a symphony
In some foreign land clapping my hands.

So let me react. Let me back.
I just want to be creative.
I got a view but it's desolated and my 20/20's a 10.
I'll be ahead of the rest. I'll be the best.
I don't care, I'll be underrated.
I once had a dream that my dreams had faded.
And now I can't open my eyes.

A dog is my only friend now.
The water cooler ran out and took my social scene.
I grew a beard so my colleagues wouldn't recognize me.
I'm sure they all despise me for making such a scene.
So it's funny to run into you now, sir.
The change you gave was meager,
But my dignity I can't afford.

Why would you say to me
It's not my 'fault, it's the company's?'
This isn't the way my life was supposed to be.
I should be enjoying a symphony
In some foreign land clapping my hands.

So let me react. Let me back.
I just want to be creative.
I got a view but it's desolated and my 20/20's a 10.
I'll be ahead of the rest. I'll be the best.
I don't care, I'll be underrated.
I once had a dream that my dreams had faded.
And now I can't open my eyes.
