Little Steps

Verse 1

Cardboard Jesus winks at you

Seems to tell you your payments due.

See a guy with a tinpot tan,

taking a line as fast as he can.

A Cindy doll wants to get her Ken,

playing hard to get always gets her man.

This cat purrs to a wallets size,

and the colour of money rules your life.

Pre-Chorus

Can we start again?

I can’t make it through the night alone,

there’s trouble on my answer phone.

Can we start again.

Verse 2

Sleeping giant sweeps the floor,

as little Jack gets pinned down to the floor.

At least no one ever sees where he works,

a mole can’t tell you the way he digs his dirt.

A little daughter needs a Wendy house,

she never acts the cat only cries the mouse.

An aeroplane takes a lover away,

just as little understanding would make her stay.

Chorus

Little steps are the hardest

Little steps to break away

Little steps keep telling me ‘Keep the Devil away’.

Middle 8

Fates been keeping me down,

that fickle mistress has been around.

So I’m just here to say,

Can we start it again?
