Lyrics:Standing In For Joe

by XTC

I'm standing... Standing in for Joe Joe called up to ask me Would I do a favour While he's gonna be out of town Said his girl needs company She gets so restless Would I keep her safe and sound Softly softly in the night Well you can guess the rest Now these shoes fit all too well Standing in for Joe I'm standing in for Joe Joe said we've been friends so long That I would be the one He would trust with his life Now those words run round my brain As darkness falls And I turn out his bedroom light Who could resist her tender charms So the story goes This actor he plays all the parts Standing in for Joe I'm standing in for... Love is like a river You cannot stop its flow I'm standing in for Joe
