Small talk with a registered nurse
Not to cry in front of people at work
Well that´s hard, hard, hard, at times you know

Get reminded of the earlier days

The end of April ´78
That was a long, long, long, long time ago

And you showed a lot of warning signs
You made your own situation mine now your problem is mine

You don´t want help
You don´t need me
You don´t look well
And you don´t want anything
You don´t want anything

Slim pickings when the weather is snow
Pretty winded on a bicycle
It´s been quite, quite, quite, quite a row to hoe

A hot dinner on a souvenir plate

The part of town where the money ain´t
But things are fine, fine, fine we´re on our own

We don´t want help
We don´t take handouts
We won´t seek sympathy
And we don´t want anything, we don´t want anything, we don´t

Get reminded of the earlier days, April ´78, long, long, long, long time ago
And you keep it bottled up inside and let it out from time to time yeah the problem´s mine
I don´t want help, I don´t want counseling, I won´t go to therapy
I won´t do anything
