A room without a view
Where the clock has stopped
Far from the global soapbox,
The small town circus never comes,

They roll up the streets at night,
You're saving up for the bright lights
But meantime the world rushes on.
With all these momentous changes

To take you in your stride.
All these momentous changes
And you've got so much on you mind.
This is the dumbest thing to get so stuck,

It costs a fortune just to keep up.
For all that, the money never comes,
New skills you should be trying,
All you can offer is joined-up writing,

Meantime the world rushed on.
With all these momentous changes
You're getting left behind
By all these momentous changes

And you've got so much on your mind.
Someone should pick you out,
Show you where to start,
Show you how to take part.

In all these momentous changes
You just feel deprived
By all these momentous changes
And you've got so much on your mind
