The older he gets
if he gets there at all
Will he realise who he was before?
As he sits in his car
it won't start in the rain
and the petrol light has been on for days

Once said is always said
he keeps everything in
But soon there won't be room enough for him
It's another long walk home
with the wrong girl, he knows
But shows no sign of letting her go

And it was you who said
He's just just like everybody else
Yes it was you who said
He's just like everybody else

He thinks he's alone
the story's the same
Heard far too many times to tell again

And it was you who said
He's just just like everybody else
Yes it was you who said
He's just like everybody else
And it was you who said
He's just like everybody else
He's just like everybody else
we're all like everybody else

Percy Butler take a ticket and join the queue
'cause we've all got our problems too
and noone really knows what to do, to do, to do

He's just like everybody else
etc...
