Ladies and Gentleman

by Hot Hot Heat

on Elevator (2005)

There's a gentleman who's not so gentle 'cause he's too generous with his chit and his chat
So lately
We've been discussing a way to rid this disgusting example of ample gossip and gab
All we hear is la-la-la...

He's a gentleman who plays a caricature of a character he wishes he was
So lately
We've been ignoring all his stories as we smile and nod and let him simply do what he does
So watch out

(It's just the way that it goes, it's just the way that it goes, it's just the way that it goes)

And everybody's got the same story

We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
But maybe that's okay

Soon this gentleman was barking louder when his biting harder didn't earn him respect
But lately
We've been too proud to admit that we all might miss him just a bit now that he's packed up and left
What did we do?

(It's just the way that it goes, it's just the way that it goes, it's just the way that it goes)

And everybody's got the same story

We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
But maybe that's okay

We never wanted him here
He showed up anyway
He never would leave us alone
We never wanted him here
And now he's gone for good
But maybe we've made a mistake
