I Miss People

I miss the dentist. God knows I even miss the pain
The man that reads my paper over my shoulder on the train
I miss the turnstiles, the pat down and the frisk
A complicated handshake where I end up looking like a tit
The pub toilet. Oh, the smell of all the piss
And I miss granny, as I try to dodge a kiss upon the lips...

But mostly
I miss people
I didn't think that I would (miss people)
Whether they're bad or they're good (miss people)
People like you
I miss people
Nearly the whole neighbourhood (miss people)
Those that I've misunderstood (miss people)
People like you
And all the stupid things that people do

And I miss ceilidhs. A dance with someone I don't know
The dad at school who always nudges me when he tells a joke
I miss the lifeguards. I miss heavy petting when your not supposed to
Rubbing up against commuters that I don't like standing close to
I miss drinking with a stranger who spits when they get merry
Would you believe I even miss my uncle Terry

But mostly
I miss people
I didn't think that I would (miss people)
Whether they're bad or they're good (miss people)
People like you
I miss people
Nearly the whole neighbourhood (miss people)
Those that I've misunderstood (miss people)
People like you
And all the stupid things that people do

I miss people
I miss people
I miss people
And moaning about people

I miss people
I miss people
I miss people
And moaning about people
People like you
