Madness, Money & Music lyrics

The days are okay
I watch the TV in the afternoon
If I get lonely
The sound of other voices
Other rooms are near to me
I'm not afraid
The operator
She tells the time
It's good for a laugh
There's always radio
And for a dime I can talk to God
Dial-a-prayer
Are you there?
Do you care?
Are you there?
And in the winter extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old

You're too kind, an easy touch for strangers
You take them in, salvation for the wayward souls
Losers no one wants to know, vagrant love's got a place to go
When he's down and out, that's when you're attracted
Another victory in your personal crusade
I was all used up beyond repair, you picked me up
Chorus:
You were always right there when I needed you

It must have been cold there, in my shadow

To never have sunlight on your face

You've been content to let me shine, you always walked a step behind

I was the one with all the glory, while you were the one with all the strength

Only a face without a name, and I never once heard you complain

Did you ever know that you're my hero, and everything I'd like to be
