Brown Trout Blues

Time rolls the back wheels of my mind

You helped me put the brakes on 'cos you're kind

I wonder where you learned to be so good

I wonder if I'm doing the best I could

I could be somewhere else

I should be someone else but

You wouldn't know me if I was

You'd say I was a stranger just because

You'd say I wasn't weak enough for you

You'd want me just to feel as you do too

I could be somewhere else

I should be someone else

But you shouldn't tell me what to do

I'll only take the brakes off if you do

And roll around like marbles on the floor

Please pick me up and roll me out the door

I could be somewhere else

I should be someone else but

I guess I'm happy as I am

Sometimes I find it hard to be a man

It's easier just to play the same old game

Of trying to forget my bloody name

I could be somewhere else

I should be someone else

But how you are mister?

I know what I'm called

It's just you got me

You got me, you got me stalled
