about

This song was later recorded by the band Po! on 1993 album Ducks and Drakes

lyrics

Leave me now; I’ve got to go and think it over
Slugs and snails, they always get around me somehow

The pipes that run into the sea
Carry all the words you said to me
I’ll always pass you by and look you in the eye
But there’s one thing I won’t do – I won’t cry

Clever men, they engineer communications
Bridges break; they rub their hands and build another

The pipes that run into the sea
Carry all the words you said to me
I’ll always pass you by and look you in the eye
But there’s one thing I won’t do – I won’t cry

Summer’s gone; I keep my feelings under glass now
People know; they keep their distance and don’t touch me

The pipes that run into the sea
Carry all the words you said to me
I’ll always pass you by and look you in the eye
But there’s one thing I won’t do – I won’t cry
