All Day Watcher (G. Kooymans) 1972 Single

Well in a few more hours and millions of people
Hate their alarm clock even more than their wives
The day is beginning, you can tell by the sunrise
People get ready for a day in their lives
They’re getting together in the streets of the city
Like lost computers of a shattered tribe
They’re all in a hurry to be in time
Some for promotion, some to stay alive

I’m the all day watcher, that’s all I do
I’m the all day watcher, I’m watching you

Well I shake my head and I shake my brain
And I don’t understand why they’re all the same
I weigh pro’s and con’s against their lives and mine
But I don’t know, it’s beyond my frame of mind, beyond my frame of mind

In a few more minutes and millions of people
Hear the wistle of freedom blowing through their heads
They push and they hurry and the herd starts moving
They follow the trail back home again
Where they’re taking it easy with a box of beer
Watching the late late show on colour TV
And life ain’t easy when you’re livin’ that way
But sometimes I wonder, maybe it’s fun everyday

I’m the all day watcher, that’s all I do
I’m the all day watcher, watching you

Well I shake my head and I shake my brain
And I don’t understand why they’re all the same
I weigh pro’s and con’s against their lives and mine
But I don’t know, it’s beyond my frame of mind, beyond my frame of mind
