stages on which we play
stages which we go through
stages of things we do
stages of things we say

perhaps i should post it anyway
miss you like mad
but our constant indecision
has left us both, a little sad

i tried to get further forwards
but there are too many desks
and too many people behind them
they are eager for a little power

i spent half an hour
instead of the usual two
they took their time
and if i gave out my number
i am sure she would phone

i need a job
a vocation to do
i need someone
yes, that much is true
