One night in June
Rosie was sitting in the candle light
Watching the flames in her glass of wine
As curving lines mix dark and shine,
And the world comes rushing in.
Rosie was waiting in a bar for some friends
All she wanted was to have a little laugh for a change
Or for somebody to stop and ask how she's been --
If things have got any better. Some
Days it's hard just to leave the house
And go to a job where too many people
Too many eyes talk back when you meet them
Stare at a screen for a task too simple
Can't keep your mind on track, play it back to
There in meeting, everybody speaking
Larger than life, and you, busy thinking
How can make sure you don't look stupid
Don't get me started
Don't get me started
I won't know how to stop
Now Rosie's friends were sat in corner
She's at the bar, getting ready to order
Drinks in a list, say it through and repeat it
Money in her hand, hold tight
But what happened next she could hardly believe it
Freezing chest locks down isn't breathing
Suddenly she swore she heard her name
Didn't even think just turned her head, and
Eyes caught glancing towards her
Furtive laughter ripples like water
Ears blocked, can't feel the floor now
Always knew that they didn't really like her
Drinks come, slowly walking,
Sits in silence, friends all talking
Happy to see her but all she sees is
How can she make sure she won't look stupid
Don't get me started
Don't get me started
I won't know how to stop
