It's Immaterial - An Ordinary Life lyrics

When he was 35 Mr. Hart met Bernice The checkout girl Spending all his time Hanging 'round the doors Of the junk food store Will they ever speak Well, I guess you could Describe her life as being lonely Never homely And in the evening hours She'll take a ride uptown With her teenage friends You've seen it all before And it's just her way She'll never change I've known right from the start Bernice will break his heart Is there hope for him He quit his work a year ago To live near the phone Television helps While away the hours until she calls Laughing down the line It's just his dream They're worlds apart I've known right from the start Bernice will break his heart Linda and Julie Anne From the warehouse call by They're Bernice's friends They'll talk of anything Play the records loud And never use the phone And he lives alone Inside his dream He'll never change I've known right from the start They're worlds and worlds apart She'll break his heart And knows she can Always breaking hearts With Linda and Julie Anne Bernice and Linda and Julie Anne Bernice and Linda and Julie Anne It's just the sound Of an ordinary life It's just the sound Of an ordinary life It's just the sound Of an ordinary life It's just the sound Of a heartbeat It's just the sound Of a heartbeat Time after time
