Mother closed 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

People you don't seem to care
If what you breathe is tin canned air
You've got to compromise

Vicar would you like some cake
You're sure you're not too bad mistake
I think you're in disguise


As I grow older going too far down the road
Up St John's Wood where I read on the notice board
That God is by my side all the time

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
C'mon 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
C'mon God, you must be strong


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


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

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
C'mon God, let's go to town

Hello God, would you like to take the train

Stop the rain from pouring down

C'mon God, you must be strong
