                       At This Moment

A couple are rowing, a man is asleep.
A woman lying next to him's counting those sheep.
A baby is crying its mother awake,
A fat man is eating a fat, juicy steak.
A couple are smoking, and passing the day,
A man's on the toilet, and gurning away.
People are thinking of people they know,
People are talking of places they'll go.

A couple are shagging, and rolling around,
A bloke in a pub has just got the next round.
A number of illegal drugs are being used, and
A McDonald's worker is looking confused.
A couple are drinking and messing about,
A man's seeking courage, but only seeing doubt.
A woman is laughing without knowing why,
A man is repeating a well-rehearsed lie.

A couple are eating, and drinking some wine.
Some people are stoned...and feeling just fine.
A young man is working, making ends meet,
A shadowy character's cruising the street.
A couple are shopping, just passing the time,
A man's being accused of a serious crime.
A man's buying drugs while another looks on                                               A man is still hoping where all hope has gone.                                          

A couple are playing their own little game,
A man's talking shite while his mate does the same.
Some people are thinking of great times gone by,                                         A man at an airport is buying a tie.                                            
A couple are fighting, but this time for real, and
A couple of people have just finished a meal
While millions of people are yearning for change
And I'm thinking of you....now is that so strange?
