lyrics

before I was a spy
I was a lovely guy

before I was a spy
I was a lovely guy

the novel was rejected
the children were neglected
the wound was soon infected
and life was much too hectic

though I moved the words
I could not talk about them
though its not deserved
I still want to walk among men

in a separate sky
I hear there’s been some speculation
that’s why I walked on by
in some trepidation

before I was a spy
I was a lovely guy

before I was a spy
I was a lovely guy

the novel was successful
the reading tour was stressful
we read in a Jewish temple
and the compensation’s ample

when it comes around
be glad you waited for it
when it hits the ground
try and find a home for it.

in a different time
we could have made a stab of it
from the things I’ve heard
you’re not so bad at it
