The Duckworth Lewis Method - Third Man Lyrics
Before the captain calls to me I know where he’ll want me to beI’ve dropped the ball too many times and out of sight is out of mindTo lessen my depression I spend session after sessionIn the decadent digression of a dreamHey hey, whiling away the best part of the day down at third manHey hey, watching the play as I daydream away down at third manI think I’ll spend a little time planning crimes like Harry LimeI’ll fantasise my enemies’ demise ‘til tea arrivesI could make a killing like a villain in the filmSelling Fleming’s penicillin to ViennaHey hey, whiling away the best part of the day down at third manHey hey, watching the play as I daydream away down at third man“In the shadow of a doorway she is standing like a lost childAn old woman is screaming, the crowd’s becoming hostileMy thoughts have been diluted like a 2/6 novellaAm I in a field in England or in the dark streets of Vienna?"Hey hey, whiling away the best part of the day down at third manHey hey, watching the play as I daydream away down at third manHey hey, whiling away the best part of the day down at third manHey hey, watching the play as I daydream away down at third man
