lyrics

I put the washing in the machine,
The cat she follows and I close the door,
Before I know I press the button,
The cat is turning round,
With sad eyes, with sad eyes,
She ponders at my motive,
With sad eyes, with sad eyes,
She ponders at my motive, she wonders if I’m evil.

I take a walk unto a park bench,
I light a cigarette and throw the match,
It lands on top of Sunday papers, that form a blanket for the tramp beneath,
Soon everthing’s burning, he’s looking at me with,
With sad eyes, with sad eyes,
He ponders at my motive,
With sad eyes, with sad eyes,
He ponders at my motive, he wonders if I’m evil.

I don’t mean it, all of this evil, it’s just chance, it just happens,
But from your side, it certainly seems so cruel, and pre-meditated,
So easy to mis-understand, so easy jumping to conclusions,
What if you gain the upper hand, it’s your truth we’ll be following.

I take a ride in my Jalopy,
My favourite dog is sittin’ next to me,
She leans across and whispers nothing,
I am distracted ‘till I,
I see the sad face of the old gentleman,
Bouncing from my old bonnet,
As he gracefully crumples onto the floor he’s looking at me with,
With sad eyes, with sad eyes,
He ponders at my motive,
With sad eyes, with sad eyes,
He ponders at my motive, he wonders if I’m evil.

I don’t mean it, all of this evil, it’s just chance, it just happens,
But from your side, it certainly seems so cruel, and pre-meditated,
I own innocent eyes.
