The Sporting Life Lyrics - Godley And Creme

Are you bored? 

Are you jaded? 

Has all the enthusiasm faded? 

Are you one of those people 

Like glazed fruit 

Who sit there in shell-shock 

Till the dot on your screen disappears? 

Are you one of those people 

Or are you just afraid? 

Are you one who craves excitement 

Were you tailor made 

For this sporting life? 

Living on a knife edge 

This sporting life's forever changing 

Are you one of these people? 

The keys please quick 

Every second counts 

I've signed the book 

Gimme the keys 

The elevator opens its mouth 

Like Jonah and the whale 

The elevator spits me out 

Into a freak show 

It's a freak show 

And into a swarm of flies 

Do.....do not disturb 

Do.....do not disturb 

The sign on the door read: 

Do not disturb 

Strange looks from the bellman 

As he takes me down the hallway 

through a firedoor to a stairwell 

Skidding, skidding, skidding, skidding 

Out of control, out of control 

Do.....do not disturb 

Do.....do not disturb 

The sign on the door read 

The sign on the door said 

The sign on the door read 

Do not disturb 

This is the Bad Samaritans 

Hello loved one 

Sorry there was nobody here 

To take your call personally 

However, we understand 

What you're going through 

How you've travelled life's highway 

With your smile on upside-down 

And now you think you've found 

The ultimate answer to all your problems 

Don't be hasty 

Why waste a life 

Wait until there's a crowd down below 

Give a little when you go 

Are you one of these people? 

Jump jump jump jump jump...... 

There's a fruitcake in the window 

Someone fetch the cops 

For God's sake get a camera 

Before the bastard drops 

A little to the left 

A little to the right 

A little to the left 

Maybe tonight's the night 

Why are we waiting? 

We're waiting 

A little to the left 

Right down the middle 

A little to the right 

X marks the spot 

You ain't gonna be 

On This is Your Life's tonight 

This sporting life 

Needs organising 

We'd gladly lose the cup 

If we could stick the knife in 

This sporting life 

This sporting life 

This sporting life's forever changing 

Are you bored? 

Are you jaded? 

Has all enthusiasm faded 

Are you one of those people?
