lyrics

Successful man with a winning smile
Spends weekends at his country pile
With his perfect wife, three perfect kids
When he shakes your hand he encloses it in both of his

For most of the year he's a most popular man
But the look on his face says he doesn't understand

Why no-one wants to talk to him today
He gets the distinct impression they'd prefer if he just went away
If no man is an island
Why do they flow around him
Without looking his way?

At the office Christmas Party

You could pay for ten nurses from his Christmas bonus
The board says he deserves it, 'cause he makes the tough decisions
He's the captain of our ship, on the cold winter seas
In his tailor-made uniform, from Saville Row and Jermyn Street

For most of the year he's a most popular man
But the look on his face says he doesn't understand

Why no-one wants to hear about next year's financial plans
They want to get drunk, cut loose
And dance to Wham
They can't relax until you get up and go
That's the loneliness
Of the CEO

At the office Christmas party

Spare a thought for the CEO at the office Christmas party
No-one wants to know how he's spending New Year
That could be you one day, in the same position
All the money you desire but no Christmas cheer
