[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Close the shop
Pull down the blinds
If anyone asks why
Tell them it's time
I thought he'd come back
He said he would
The blighter's done himself in
I can't believe he could
Nature's played me a dirty trick
I'm going to disappear
I want a few years peace and quiet
Far away from here
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
The law says I'm a criminal
But I can't help the way I am
Trying to find some kind of love
The only way I can
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
I'm an odd man out
Discretion guaranteed
I don't scream and shout
But I know what I need
I'm an odd man out
An outlaw on the run
There's quite a few of us about
In 1961
