The Jazz Butcher - Out Of Touch

from the album  Fishcotheque


Mr Norris changed his Traveler's Cheques I've been out of touch.
Don't look like that I don't know what you expect, I've been out of touch.

Have you seen a man without me I've been out of touch.
The cheap dermatologist on Tiger Creme it never seems to do that much.
Some things don't change and some things don't matter.
Other things are going to fall to the ground
And they can't even give themselves the satisfaction of a platitude.
I don't see how these things are going to do you any harm so do you still?
You can relax and judge the whole world from your own windowsill.

He's got his gyroscope shoes, neon trousers in assorted hues.
Scone fibrous synthetic balloons -
Just a regular guy with a regular dress problem.
Le Bohemian and devious plans.
I'm sure he'd like to take his place in history
But everyone I know assures me he can't, but I don't know.
I've been out of touch I just dropped by to say "hello".
And all the while, he's held us helpless in his flat in ? style.
He's out of touch, looks like he's out of touch now.
Out of touch, looks like he's out of touch now.

They came and got him Saturday afternoon.
They put somebody on the door of his room.
They didn't talk about it much on the news.
But you could recognise those ludicrious shoes.
What he did they would not say.
The look on his face was giving nothing away.
Like a clean speaker with a lot on his mind.
He never looked like the dangerous kind, but there you go.
Your neighbours could be murderers for all that you know.
You and me, we could be living on top of a stone atrocity and never know.
Out of touch, and so it goes, when you live out of touch.
Out of touch, I guess we're living out of touch now.
Out of touch, I guess we live out of touch now.
