Lyrics

(Colin moulding)

I am the fly on the wall
My prying eyes are looking through your bottom drawer
I just came flying through your door
You didn't notice that your number had been called

I see the mother who's beating the babe
I see the money
The pennies you save
Stored on computers
From birth to the grave

The fly on the wall
He's seeing it all

I am the fly upon the wall
You're in the index of the files that stand so tall
Although your health is rather poor
We have a place for those who cannot find a cure

I know your income
Your daily crust
I know your pleasures
Your passion
Your lust
I know when you're living and I know when you're dust

The fly on the wall
He's seeing it all

One is born and one will die, it's all understood
The bit that's in the middle doesn't count

I am the fly on the wall
My prying eyes are looking through your bottom drawer
I just came flying through your door
You didn't notice that your number had been called

I see the mother who's beating the babe
I see the money
The pennies you save
Stored on computers
From birth to the grave

The fly on the wall
He's seeing it all. I am the fly

I am the fly upon the wall
You're in the index of the files that stand so tall
Although your health is rather poor
We have a place for those who cannot find a cure

I know your income
Your daily crust
I know your pleasures
Your passion
Your lust
I know when you're living and I know when you're dust

The fly on the wall
He's seeing it all
