Names, Tags, Numbers & Labels - Albert Hammond
Names I know a man Who drowns his sorrows in the cheapest booze He knows he hasn't got that much to lose Wino Names I know a man Who speaks the language of another class He sees nothin' in the looking glass Phony Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool Tags I know a kid Somehow the ball game doesn't interest him Isn't this where it all begins? Sissy Tags She's twenty-five She wants a family and a house to run Her sister always was the pretty one Lonely Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool Numbers There's no escape 'cause time will do a number on us all Your age is scrawled across the office wall Old man Labels You gave me mine At the time I took it casually Is that all you really thought of me? Sucker Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool Hm-hm-hm Names, tags, numbers, hm, labels
