What's It All Supposed To Mean? Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

Tell me what's happening to this world 

I've just seen pictures of a girl 

Lying half-naked in a stream 

She was so fall of life 

Yet in one moment killed by a knife 

Will somebody tell me 

What's it all supposed to mean? 

Sign on the door says go away 

Sign on the grass says you will pay 

Dearly if on it you are seen 

Ask your neighbour's the time They'll close their curtains pull down the blinds 

Will somebody tell me 

What's it all supposed to mean? 

You can say what you like 

About a bike it does ring a bell at least 

Why provide cars that break every law we make 

Not the least of which is the speed they can exceed 

You can say what you like 

About goodbyes 

They boost tissue sales at least 

I don't know anyone whose love has gone 

Who does not require a multitude of these 

A clip round the ear it must be said 

Never hurt anyone instead 

Taught you a lesson you'd not seen 

And yet do that today 

You could so easily be put in jail 

Will somebody tell me 

What's it all supposed to mean?
