[Verse 1: Chris Lowe]
When I go fishing with my rod
I often get that urge
To fall asleep, a sleep so deep that
No-one notices me
[Verse 2: Chris Lowe]
Don't want anyone to know my name
Don't want to get a fax
Don't want to meet the Royal Family
Just 'cause I've paid my tax
[Chorus: Chris Lowe]
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd
[Verse 3: Chris Lowe]
Dressing individually doesn't impress me
I think that it's pathetic
Following fashion, I just like it
Don't I?
[Chorus: Chris Lowe]
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd
[Bridge: Chris Lowe & Neil Tennant]
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
Fishing
Fishing
[Verse 3: Chris Lowe]
I never fight, but every night
I think it's gonna be alright
I think I might think in spite of
Every thing
[Chorus: Chris Lowe]
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd
[Post-Chorus: Chris Lowe]
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
[Outro: Chris Lowe & Neil Tennant]
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
Fishing
One of the crowd
Fishing
When I go fishing with my rod
I often get that urge
To fall asleep, a sleep so deep that
No-one notices me
[Verse 2: Chris Lowe]
Don't want anyone to know my name
Don't want to get a fax
Don't want to meet the Royal Family
Just 'cause I've paid my tax
[Chorus: Chris Lowe]
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd
[Verse 3: Chris Lowe]
Dressing individually doesn't impress me
I think that it's pathetic
Following fashion, I just like it
Don't I?
[Chorus: Chris Lowe]
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
