Rubbernecker - Murray Head

He is a rubbernecker

A human double-decker

Another trouble-checker

Hanging around the scene of the crime

He’s got nothing to say tho' he’ll get in the way

Cos that’s how he likes to spend his time

Rubbernecker

He is a rubbernecker

A watch in any weather

He gets sadistic pleasure

Knowing he’s O.K., and free of blame

He saw it all happen, but he don’t know why

He’s glad he was there all the same.

Rubbernecker

Oh god it’s hard to see ourselves when we’re to blame

For watching someone else do what we cannot do

For shame, for fear or pride, as long as we can hide.

Rubbernecker

He is a rubbernecker

A human double-decker

Another trouble-checker

The ever silent witness on the side

He likes to stand and stare and sniff the atmosphere

Don’t ask him for support he’s a watchman not a guide.
