A World Without Dave

Dave ran away to the circus

To get away from the clowns

To give his life some purpose

Before he shot somebody down



He stopped at every service station

On the motorway heading west

And drove the central reservation

Into the center of his chest



And the world carries on without Davy

It's not a worse or better place

Uglier and safer maybe

But that's a question of personal taste



And every year come rain or sunshine

I put flowers on his grave

But it's not easy sometime

I've learned to live in a world without D A V E



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeeh



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeh, yeeh



Monday I do the laundry

Tuesday pay the bills

Wednesday the gospel

According to the supermarket tills



Thursday, empty the dustbins

Friday, I visit my mum's

It's just a simple loss adjustment

Until the weekend comes



And the world carries on without Davy

It's not a worse or better place

Uglier and safer maybe

But that's a question of personal taste



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeeh



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeh, yeeh



And the world carries on without Davy

It's not a worse or better place

Uglier and safer maybe

But that's a question of personal taste



I might run away to the circus

To get away from the clowns

To give my life some purpose

Before I shoot somebody down
