Only The Names Have Been Changed

(album: Only Lonely Sometimes - 1980)

Only the names have been changed

Inside the motel Sue walks to the desk
Signs her name as Miss Jim Slater
She asks for a suite she wants only the best
Her husband will be along later

Bill sits in his office and picks up the phone
Barb' s waiting to lock up the door
I'll be late he says don't wait up alone
Kate's heard his excuses before

Only the names have been changed
To protect the guilty
The guilty and sometimes ashamed
The stories the people are real
Only the names have been changed

Michael's a singer he travels the world
He's married but still so alone
Jane left the group a confused little girl
She'll sing by herself from now on

Only the names have been changed
To protect the guilty
The guilty and sometimes ashamed
The stories the people are real
Only the names have been changed
Only the names have been changed
