[Pre-Chorus]
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed
Thinking those who once existed must be dead
[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
[Pre-Chorus]
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew
[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
