He’s Got What I Had

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
If he looks like he's not sleeping
He ain't wiped around his mouth now
Cannot tell his east from west
Neither tell his north from south

Don't you take him to no doctor
Don't tell the nurse he's feeling bad
Further down the road you'll see
He's got a load of what I had

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If he seems drunk at 9 in the morning
If his eyes, they are glazed, they are red
Don't wave your hand in front of his face
Just put him straight back to bed

[Chorus 1]
He's got what I had when I shaved off all my hair
When I walked close to the cliff edge, still closer to despair
He's got what I had, he's inconsolable and blue
Ask him what he's got: he's got you

[Verse 2]
If you see somebody walking
Looks like she's sleeping on the streets
No doubt you might feel sympathetic
Wonder how she came to be

Likelihood she's lost her house now
Don't see her daughter or her son
There's a weight on all our shoulders
But this one's carrying a ton

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If her temperature is rising
If her pulse is hard to find
One tune going round and round in her skull
Presley's 'Always On My Mind'

[Chorus 2]
She's got what I had when I shaved off all my hair
When I walked close to the cliff edge, still closer to despair
She's got what I had, she's inconsolable and blue
Ask her what she's got: she's got you

[Bridge]
Romance comes in every form and every size
Holds you closely, looks you in the eyes
Squeezes tighter, will not let you go
Till face you can't recall and name you do not know

[Chorus 3]
They've got what we had when we shaved off all our hair
When we walked close to the cliff edge, still closer to despair
They've got what we had, they're inconsolable and blue
Ask them what they've got: they've got you
