[Verse] Overcoat Old wool cap Leather gloves Hide the fat [Pre-Chorus] In a world made of tears He is safe from his fears [Verse] On his own He’s on his own (on his own) N.C. He likes it that way              [Verse] Thoughts arise Fear is doubt Bearing through Giving smell   [Pre-Chorus] It’s the happiest day When he moves far away From the crowd The curious crowd [Chorus] N.C. He wants them to Stand back the old man’s snoring heavy Down underneath the bridge he’s got his Mansion of cardboard slats And it’s enough N.C. Oohhhh          [lead break] (Repeat Verse twice during solo) [Pre-Chorus] It’s the happiest day When he moves far away From the crowd The curious crowd [Chorus] N.C. He wants them to Stand back the old man’s snoring heavy Down underneath the bridge he’s got his Mansion of cardboard slats And it’s enough (x2) Oooh

À propos de la chanson

La chanson explore la vie d'un homme âgé qui trouve un certain réconfort dans la solitude, loin des autres. Équipé de vêtements usés et caché sous un pont, il vit dans sa « maison » faite de cartons, un symbole de sa résilience et de sa capacité à se contenter de peu. Il est heureux d'échapper à la curiosité des passants, préférant la paix d'une existence discrète et recluse. Cette réalité, teintée de mélancolie, souligne à quel point il est possible de s'épanouir dans des circonstances apparemment difficiles.
