Lyrics
Someone approached me yesterday I was wearing the jacket, so fair play He asked me a question that made me smile He asked me “where are the spiders?” And I tried not to laugh I said I wasn’t sure we had any And had he tried the reptile house?
The other day I was at the station wearing my other jacket The one they confuse for a member of staff And I ended up answering questions About the next train to the airport It happens a lot when I wear that jacket Sometimes passengers are upset that their cards don’t work I have to tell them I don’t really work here
Perhaps I just have that kind of face I’ve certainly got that kind of jacket It’s nice to help if you can Make someone’s day a bit better But I still don’t know where the spiders are

Loving your titles especially this year; But I have questions! What is the first jacket design, a herringbone spider web design? Unless Im missing it, the lyric is not giving the required information! at least V2 explains why people make the mistake. (I'm joking, of course; this feels very observational, a bit like a page from your imaginary diary)! Nice! j$
I was at my volunteer job at the zoo on Saturday and someone literally asked me "where are the spiders?" Only they asked in Dutch, obviously.
Lovely personal sung-story of life. Yep, watch what jackets you wear. You might get mistaken for a spider or worse, a spider house! Cheers
Ah, life eh? It'll throw these things at you. Indeed a rather lovely refelection on things 😀
