Lyrics

He looked so ordinary
That’s what everybody said
But he lived in purgatory
And no-one ever knew
He looked so ordinary

Super-friendly on the outside
Waters running deep within
Pretending has its downsides
That lurk behind the boyish grin
He looked so ordinary
That’s what everybody said
But he lived in purgatory
No one ever knew
He looked so ordinary

He looked so ordinary
You wouldn’t give a second glance
He hid it well behind the facade
You know he never had a chance
He was ordinary
You wouldn’t look twice
He looked so ordinary
And no-one ever knew

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

Enjoyed that. Catchy melody and a meaningful message. Ordinary covers are doors to some wonderfully deep books.
