People Say A Lot Lyrics - This Kind Of Love - Carly Simon

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah 

Lining up sideways around the block 

"It's not for the money" she say to you 

Almost convincing herself that it's true 

"I'll take care of your dog when you're away" 

"I don't mind working Saturdays" 

"When you wanna work I'll work with you", she say 

"And I'll go on working when you wanna play" 

"Nothing gonna hurt you when I'm around" 

"I'll keep my eyes wide open and my nose to the ground" 

"I'll be like a mama with a baby cub" 

People say a lot when they want the job 

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah 

People say a lot when they want the job

When you begin to see a sinister gleam 

You're locked in too tight on the same team 

There's a little holiday in her heart 

When she sees you slip up, Ahhhhh 

It's like Christmas Eve just to see you trip up 

Ooops, then down again 

She'll sit on the floor hardly hiding a grin 

When her tears spill out, crocodile chagrin 

It's her contempt for you, she thinks you're a slob 

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah 

People say a lot when they want the job 

People say a lot when they want the job 

Greatest cook to bring a meal (didn't need a recipe) 

Said she'll also deal the cards (dealt the knave and two and three) 

Said she also feel the thrill of the willow in the wind (feel the thrillo the willow---- or oak or elm or ash or pine sol) 

Photos 

It's already too late when she's reading your mail 

Calling your agent and making the deal 

She'll just copy and paste it and make it last 

Nothing is sacred about your past 

She'll tell of the poppies in the July fest 

Maybe her brother with the badge can make the arrest 

"You could go to jail, fail all the tests" 

"Forget your keys and your secrets and your little black box" 

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah 

People say a lot when they want the job, yeah 

People say a lot when they want the job 

She was awfully good at fire (fiery fiery hussy burn) 

She burned bridges where she could (she really couldn't burn them very well) 

She turned young men into torches (burning scarecrow) 

She had a way with wood (do away with wood, do away with wood) 

People say a lot when they want the job 

Lining up eager around the block 

Promising, promising never to quit 

Well it's a full time job to be a hypocrite 

Maybe they remember that they've done it before 

Practicing, with their dolls on the floor 

The lie itself becoming the seed 

The messy mascara, the future deed 

The actor's bow, the junkie's need 

They line up again just to wipe you clean 

They line up again just to wipe you out 

Line up again around the block 

A mighty force of youth for hire 

Spouting ideas that geniuses would rob ohhhhh 

People say a lot when they want the job, oh 

People say a lot when they want the job, ah 

People say a lot when they want the job. yeah 

People say a lot when they want the job 

People say a lot when they want the job 

People say a lot when they want the job 

"Tell me Phoebe, do you want someday to have an award like that of your own?" 

"More than anything else in the world" 

"Then you must ask Miss Harrington how to get one 

...Miss Harrington knows all about it"
