Andrew Ball, recovering alcoholic man
Spent twelve months living upstairs at his Auntie Anne’s
Everybody knows, curtains always closed
Auntie Anne won’t answer the phone
Morning tea, runny eggs and GMTV
Pie for lunch, afternoon snooze and some Monster Munch
They say he lost his job, his wife went off with Rob
A newsagent from Loughborough Road
Everyday drags on the same
Every hour a different shade of grey
Obsessive for Das Boot, crosswords and word soups
And tea cups from the Antiques Roadshow
Andrew Ball, recovering alcoholic man
Spent twelve months living upstairs at his Aunty Anne’s
Everybody knows, curtains always closed
Auntie Anne won’t answer the phone
Morning tea, runny eggs and GMTV
Pie for lunch, afternoon snooze and some Monster Munch
They say he lost his job, his wife went off with Rob
A newsagent from Loughborough Road
Slowly things began to change (Like they always do that way)
Andrew Ball back on his feet again
