Travelling Man

There's a flat just by the Corn Exchange
Where the light stays on till dawn
Where an ordinary lady
Dreams about a life that's gone
Vera Lamont
There's such a lot of things you wanted
Vera Lamont, Vera Lamont
Queen of the trampoline
With a gasp and a sigh
The crowd watch her fly into the sky and then
Such a fantastic sight
A vision of delight
Vera Lamont at night
On her trampoline
In the corner of a Wakefield bus
Splashing through the rain at nine
There's an ordinary lady
Always at her work on time
Vera Lamont
There's such a lot of things you wanted
Vera Lamont, Vera Lamont
Triumphs on stage again
Hear the audience roar
They're shouting for more
'One more encore' they cry
Flowers are piled up high
This is your finest hour
Vera Lamont the star
Back on stage again
Turning the key in the lock
No one's waiting
No one's called
No one knows about the things you want, Vera Lamont
Lamont marries millionaire
Acrobat's wild affair
Lamont makes the world stop and stare
Vera Lamont
Nobody really cares
And the kettle's boiling
