Mr Humphries

Try and be kind to Mr Humphries in room 5
 He gets grumpy trying to keep hope alive
 And though the well is dried up
 He won't give or shut up
 It's still hoping
 He spent his life on the television
 He even had a catch phrase of his own
 Made a great entrance on the stage
 A free man walking from the cage
 Millions loved him
 Hoping
 His advice to the young
 Always leave 'em wanting more
 You can't calm the savage beast
 But you can make him less of a bore
 The heart it don't need
 Brave words or deeds
 It just keeps hoping
 Keep it light, keep it bright
 You're the thing they forget
 And in the end no one's a friend
 And your fortune becomes a debt
 So be kind to Mr Humphries
 Though you think his role is small
 A smile that breaks the darkness
 Never has to beg, never has to crawl
 Every breath is a prayer
 It don't cave in or scare
 It's hoping
 You won't find the sun
 If the dead light your way
 Distract 'em, keep 'em laughing
 Cause you'll never have enough to pay
