Stay Polite (with Jackie Oates)

from Surface Industries I by Paul Rooney

/

lyrics

(Christian, travel on,
No sleep, my soul. Ne’er on, never sleep).

My alarm goes off
At six and I’m out by seven.
I still feel about
Two hours short of a decent sleep.
When I get to work,
I feel like I am thawing out.
I wonder if

I can stay polite.
I have a coffee.

The phones are ringing,
And callers all ask the same thing:
‘Where is my taxi?’
‘How long ‘till this taxi arrives?’
My next call begins.
She’s not polite, I’m used to that.
She gets angry,

Though I stay polite. (Steal away).
I tell her that

The traffic is bumper to bumper in some places, as it is now peak hour.
I have stayed polite today. I may as well have saved my breath; she still gives me an earful of abuse.

I have stayed polite.
I have stayed polite.
I have stayed polite.
I’ve stayed polite today.

(Christian, travel on).
