Numbers
Give the man a little credit
It's not the way she's supposed to have said it
Coming here and telling you lot I've got a tilt on, I've got a problem
Strange news this abuse
You know that I never lose
I'm always up more than down
If nothing else, can't you tell?
I'm a professional
It's not just on Sundays 'cos I'm still here on Mondays
When the phone rings now I let the phone ring out
I keep it clinical 'cos it's critical given the space I need now
I don't care it's a lonely affair 'cos the numbers will see me through
And they do
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
I believe
I do, I believe
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
They've been good to me
They've been good
You know I wasn't born this lucky
It takes years to get this cocky
Skimming off the numbers from the people I hang 'round
I take birthdays, anniversaries, anything that works for me
Letting go of family whose numbers let me down
And I say cut down these heathens with their aversion to adhesion
Killing my community with their senseless incredulity
These are numbers, not feelings
They're the facts that fuel my dealings
And I take solace, I take pride
In how well they've done me by
But if there's anything in all of this
If there's one thing we shouldn't miss
It's belief in those numbers
That belief is a beautiful thing
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
I believe
I do, I believe
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
They've been good to me
They've been good
Belief is a beautiful thing
I believe in these numbers
I believe
I do, I believe!
'cos they've been good to me
They've been good to me
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
So so good to me
They've been good
Belief is a beautiful thing
Belief is a beautiful thing
It's not the way she's supposed to have said it
Coming here and telling you lot I've got a tilt on, I've got a problem
Strange news this abuse
You know that I never lose
I'm always up more than down
If nothing else, can't you tell?
I'm a professional
It's not just on Sundays 'cos I'm still here on Mondays
When the phone rings now I let the phone ring out
I keep it clinical 'cos it's critical given the space I need now
I don't care it's a lonely affair 'cos the numbers will see me through
And they do
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
I believe
I do, I believe
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
They've been good to me
They've been good
You know I wasn't born this lucky
It takes years to get this cocky
Skimming off the numbers from the people I hang 'round
I take birthdays, anniversaries, anything that works for me
Letting go of family whose numbers let me down
And I say cut down these heathens with their aversion to adhesion
Killing my community with their senseless incredulity

It's belief in those numbers
That belief is a beautiful thing
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
I believe
I do, I believe
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
They've been good to me
They've been good
Belief is a beautiful thing
I believe in these numbers
I believe
I do, I believe!
'cos they've been good to me
They've been good to me
I believe in these numbers 'cos they've been good to me
So so good to me
They've been good
Belief is a beautiful thing
Belief is a beautiful thing
