First member of my audience was born in '45
At 23 decided she would help bring me alive
Which is fine as far as I can see I've had a lovely time
It did serve to condition me against the lonely climb
Up a mountain made of compromise and heartbreaking regret
The remainder of my audience has clearly not been born yet
Next member of my audience was born in '70
Sister to my soul gave me a life near heavenly
Which is mine and I thank God it is
I lay it down each day
However I see fit 'cause you won't hear it anyway
No reason to apologize and no reason to fret
The remainder of my audience has clearly not been born yet
I'm one of those
I'm one of those
Kings and queens in peasant clothes I'm one of those
I'm one of those
I'm one of those
Oh that's how it usually goes
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Third member of my audience was born 2002
She's one of four invested now unlike the rest of you
Which is fine 'cause it was down to me
No need to be a grouch
Never R.E.M.'d it in a van or slept on someone's couch
I still know what I'm doing is as good as it can get
The remainder of my audience has clearly not been born yet
I'm one of those
I'm one of those
Royalty in peasant clothes
I'm one of those
Hey I'm one of those
I'm one of those
Man that's how it more often goes
Heaven knows
Oh heaven knows
I'm more than satisfied to play this cheeky little tune
And I won't be cutting off my ear anytime soon
Way too busy working baby
Not enough yet shared
Years from now my audience will know how much I cared
Years from now my audience will know how much I dared
