Lyrics Howard Jones

Howard Jones

Rubber Morals

Quickly checking what company he's in

Absorbing values like a chameleon

His rhythm and his method have got out of line

When you sit on a fence you get a sore behind

Must not upset the apple cart

He'll choose your views today

Having some kinda conflict

Seems to get right in his way

Whoa...rubber morals

Whoa...rubber morals

Whoa...rubber morals, plasticine ideals

See how this one feels

The men in st. peters will not agree to a slipping

On his conscience like he slips on a johnnie

He's a part time socialist and a part time tycoon

Flags of convenience fly in his cocoon

Must not upset the apple cart

Preserve the status quo

His heart felt convictions

Left a long time ago

A sign over his bed will testify

Is there nothing in his life from which he'd live or die

A pale shade of grey lines a vacant head

With our condom-nation you are blessed

Must not upset the apple cart

He'll choose your views today

Having some kinda conflict

Seems to get right in his way
