Nobody Takes Me Seriously

Nobody listens to a word that I say
And at work I'm just a foremans tool
Sitting in the corner with my coffee & tray
All the secretaries think I'm a fool

I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Haven't I the right to say
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

Loves not a glimpse, it's a permanent rinse
And it keeps you on your toes all day
Every girl I met seemed to get apathetic
When I looked at her that special way

I can't get nobody else to take me for real
They like to keep me tucked away
Even if they listened to what I had to say
Nobody'd take me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

If war broke out I'd be the last one to know
If there was a fire they'd just leave me to burn
I got just as much to say as any man
But I never seem to get my turn

I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Haven't I the right to say
I don't wanna suffer these conditions no more
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway
Nobody takes me seriously anyway

(Nobody takes me seriously) (4 times)
Nobody.. no, no, no-nobody... (repeat to fade)

Note:

The original Frenz.com discography went offline due to a server crash in 2005. At that time, it was out of date - The last updates having been done in 2002. As part of the redevelopment of the Frenz.com site we are working on a newer better version of the discography, integrated with the rest of the site. Until that work is complete, we put together an interim version of the discography with the old information.

Some of the newer information you might expect to find in the discography can be found around the rest of Frenz.com - e.g. newer Crowded House Lyrics can be found at the Crowded House site.

For updates on when the discography and other Frenz.com work is done, please keep your eye on or subscribe to the Frenzwire Blog
