Michael Caine

He's walking where I'm afraid I don't know,
I see the firemen jumping from the windows,
there's panic and i hear somebody scream.

he picks up useless paper and puts it in my pocket,
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean,
I can't remember tell me what's his name?

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep at home

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep

the sun is laughing it's another broken morning,
i see a shadow and call out to try and warn him,
he didn't seem to hear just turn away.

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep at home

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep

The quiet fellows follows,
points his fingers straight at you,
he had to sacrifice his pride, yes,
throw it away...

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep at home

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep

His days are numbered he walks round and round in circles,
there is no place he can ever call his own,
he seems to jump at the sound of the phone.

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep at home

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep

Staring out the window,
there's nothing he can now do,
all he wanted was to remain sane,
he can't remember his own name.

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep at home

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep at home

..and all i wanted was a word; a photograph to keep
