Wouldn’t you know it ? Doesn’t it figure ?
In a city of millions you can feel so alone.
Couldn’t you guess it ? Typical ain't it ?
I could count all my chances on the thumbs of one hand.

In a city where money talks image is king, they're all the same.

Won’t you meet me here this time tomorrow.
You look like someone I’d like to know well.
And if ever I needed a friend to hold on to
now is the time and I want to hold you.

Wouldn’t you know it ? Who would have thought it ?
We all deserve someone - well I thought I did.
Couldn’t you feel it ? Didn’t you notice ?
I’m frightened to say that I want you so much.

I’ve talked to my plants and I’ve no more to say.
And my paint is all dry.

Won’t you meet me here this time tomorrow.
I'm sick drinking whisky and watching TV.
We could be statistics or we could be in love now
So sue me for saying I'm attracted this way.

Won’t you meet me here this time tomorrow.
I hope that you will I’ve had enough being alone.
When you smile it’s as if there’s a point to me being here,
I hope we’ll look back to this time today.

The Emma Brown Song (Getalife.com) v15 
Words and music by Michael Cunningham
All instruments Michael Cunningham except Drums and additional guitar Dave Croxford
Produced by CroxRox

Emma Brown works in a hamburger store,
She knows it’s a dead end and she knows she wants more.
She’s taken a back seat in her life so far.
she’s waiting for something worth waiting for.

She wants a new life and she wants to have fun.
A near-life experience is as close as she’s come.
She lists all the changes she will make when she can
and dreams of creating getalife.com

Charlie was out on the tiles last night
He couldn’t remember what he went to forget
He went to college, now he works in a bar 
This is the ‘B-side’ of his life so far

He needs to take charge and to take some control,
some brightness, some volume and some vertical hold.
His life in the faff lane could be so turned around
He goes into work and he meets Ms Brown.

They make a machine where you get a new life
For 10 bucks a pop you get a stereotype
For a little bit extra you can go Larsonesque
Or keep your own life and change everyone else.

They make small people big and make big people small,
have a bad-hair day, or go do it all.
Glide the Grand Canyon and dive the Azores,
Explore the South Pole and climb the Monros

So now they’re ensconced in their own little world
their favourite restaurant and their favourite films
One or two games where they come out on top
All living sweetly in getalife.com

But all of their people work in hamburger stores
Or working in bars when they want to do more
They list all the changes they will make when they can
They dream of creating getalife.com
