Not So Tall - The Selecter

I took a walk along a yellow street where purple faces said it all

I wasn’t looking for no sympathy

An opportunity to make me small

Then my skin began to crawl

I took a bus up where the air is green

And all year round the sky is blue

The people all pretend that they can’t see

The mediocrity of what they do believing what they say is true

Oh, it’s such a silly dream but you’re not so tall

Oh, it’s such a simple thing

But you’re not so tall

Oh no, you’re not so tall at all

I took a stroll along a red-brick road

Where baby’s cheeks are shiny brown

I heard the crack of an almighty load

The curiosity of that fat sound brought all the children running round

Oh, it’s such a silly dream but you’re not so tall

Oh, it’s such a simple thing

But you’re not so tall

Oh no, you’re not so tall at all

When I think of the good vibrations

All the things I like to do

Then I get a strange sensation

Why is everyone so cruel?

Oh, you’re not so tall, oh no, you’re not so tall

One day, some day
