Small World
(J. Pouyadou)As I was strolling down the lonely avenue
Trying to erase those memories of you
Here I saw you coming
Out of the blue
With that swimming teacher
Walking along with you
He was holding your hand and another part
Of that body of yours I still know by heart
I thought I might kick him but he stood 6.3
And I forced myself to grin something really silly
It's such a small, small world
It's such a small, small world
It's such a small, small world
I wish it was any bigger
So I travelled around still tryin' to forget your face
After many a mile I found a secluded place
Somewhere where people live on sand and pebbles
I tried to run away from my fellow mortals
But as I was outside in my rocking chair
Doing no harm and sipping a beer
Guess who passed along on a yellow Hummer
Raising a Texas-sized thumb up in the air
It's such a small, small world
It's such a small, small world
It's such a small, small world
I wish it was any bigger
Some Californian jerk dressed as a Mafia goon
Sold expensive seats on a trip to the Moon
'got myself one of those, I had nothing to lose
Except of course my dose of persecution blues
But as I was starting to get a bit nervous
While they lift off that kind of space-bound bus
The voice of the captain told me to just calm down
A voice I knew too well, it really knocked me down
It's such a small, small world
It's such a small, small world
It's such a small, small world
I wish it was any bigger
