Gilbert O'Sullivan - Answers On A Postcard Lyrics






I'm lost and all alone what do I do
The girl that I'm in love with says we're through
How can I just let her go
Answers on a postcard please

It seems while I've been doing this and that
She's been carrying on behind my back
Why was I the last to know
Answers on a postcard please

And I don't know what rights if any I have
When it comes to little old me
You can be held for days without even being charged
They call it democracy

I never thought of this happening to us
It happens all the time of course it does
Devil did he play a role
Answers on a postcard please

And I don't know what rights if any I have
When it comes to, comes to seeing
Everything you've worked so hard for
All your life
Been smashed to smithereens

I'm lost and like a fool I found my way
Deep inside this dark secluded bay
How'd I get here I don't know
Answers on a postcard please
How'd I get here I don't know
Answers on a postcard please

    What a tune! Up there with his best

    I grew up with GOS in the 1970s - all his great songs. A few months ago, he was in Perth, Western Australia and I took my mum to see and hear him. Afterwards he met each and every fan - wonderful; and so did his lovely daughters. Special man, special family. We got his CD on sale - and I heard this gem I'd never heard before - and found my favourite GOS song; that first time, I played it five times in a row. Wonderful, magical.

    @mohawk3881 There is a LOT of great GOS music out there & as much as I love his earlier stuff,(I did grow up with him) this track is up there with the best. Most of what he does is simplistic, that's where the beauty of it lays. I thought I knew most sayings/idioms but 'Answer on a postcard,Please' slipped me by. I had never heard of it until I googled it. I guess the reason is, it came & went over a relatively small period of time & was used mostly in UK. Is the sheet music available?

    Yeah, great album it is!!
