Sanity Inspector

(album: With Their New Face On - 1968)

He comes home at five o'clock
His day's work is done
Living life with the job he's got
Can't be too much fun

Leaning on the gate on Sunday
Watching his children play
His wife's so happy in her semi-detached
On her face, no despair

The sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool
Everyone is taking him for a fool

Things don't seem to get much better
He's starting to look so sad
Looking after lots of people
It's gonna drive him mad

Looks in the mirror with his eyes shut tight
Afraid of what is there
Bad times are falling on his happy home
But no one seems to care

The sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool
Everyone is taking him for a fool
The sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool
Everyone is taking him for a fool
The sanity inspector's gone and blown his cool
Everyone is taking him for a fool
