St. John’s Wood Affair lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mother, close the bathroom door
You said you've seen it all before
When you were sweet sixteen

Daughter, don't you get upset
You're not too old to learn yet
While you are in-between

[Verse 2]
People, you don't seem to care
If what you breathe is tin can air
You've got to compromise

Victor, would you like some cake?
You're sure you're not a bad mistake
I think you're in the skies

[Pre Chorus 1]
As I grow older going too far down the road
From St. John's Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time

[Chorus 1]
Hello God, would you like to take a walk?
Maybe we can have a talk, maybe I can fix you up?
Maybe you can send me down?
Come on God, let's go to town
Hello God, would you like to take the train?
Just relax and stop the rain, stop the rain from pouring down
Surely you won't see me wrong
Come on God, you must be strong

[Verse 3]
You refuse to stop the rain
And I refuse to catch the train
No need to get excited

Don't blame me for what I do
Cause baby, I'm fed up with you
But somehow feel delighted

[Pre Chorus 2]
As I grow older going too far down the road
From St. John's Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time

[Chorus 2]
Hello God, would you like to take a walk?
Maybe we can have a talk, maybe I can fix you up?
Maybe you can send me down?
Come on God, let's go to town

Hello God, would you like to take the train?
Just relax and stop the rain, stop the rain from pouring down
Surely you won't see me wrong
Come on God, you must be strong
