Penny Drops

(专辑： Gilbert O'Sullivan - 2018)

Penny drops when she doesn't turn up
Penny drops when you're on a date
Penny drops knowing what you learns up
Thinking only she was late

Penny drops when you're on the freeway
Penny drops and you're cutting out
Penny drops when you see the fuel gage
Indicating down to nought

Only takes a moment
And in all that time
Once the heavens open
It'll be one hell of a climb

Penny drops when you take the bus home
Penny drops reaching for the fare
Penny drops emptying your pockets
Finding there is nothing there

Penny drops looking in the mirror
Penny drops seeing what you found
Penny drops seeing it's your figure
Bigger now all around

Ask yourself this question
Why is oil so crude
Would it not be better
Better if it were less
Better if it were less lewd

Penny drops when she says I love you
Penny drops when it's on the phone
Penny drops when it's to another
Somebody you might have known

I believe a one love
Only two provide
Not for me a threesome
Let alone a four or five

Penny drops when you leave the bathroom
Penny drops after having run
Penny drops when amid the laughter
You can see the flies undone

Penny drops when you back a winner
Penny drops when you see it lost
Penny drops going out for dinner
Knowing what will be the cost
Knowing what will be the cost
Knowing what will be that cost
