A Mild Mannered Man
Always seemed such
A mild mannered man
Always seemed
So normal
He's the last person
That you'd expect
To do something like this
28 years
Of tolerance
28 years
Of silence
28 years
Of suppressed anger
Letting it pass
Turn the other cheek
Letting it build up inside
Smiling instead
Waiting at doorways
Always stepping aside
No self worth
No self esteem
He's always swallowing pride

There must be a reason
Things happen for a reason
Don't they? He always seemed such
A calm quiet man
And we all thought
We knew him
He kept himself
To himself
He always seemed so shy
But I know his sort
As soon as she went out
He'd have the advocat
Out of the sideboard
Then upstairs
Time on his own
Into her purse
Into the wardrobe
Shivering under the skylight
Watching a girl
Across the street

There must be a reason
Things happen for a reason
There must be a reason
Things happen for a reason
Don't they?
