paroles de chanson The Problem - Godley & Creme
If
a
man,
A,
who
weighs
11
stone
Leaves
from
his
home
at
8:
30
in
the
morning
In
a
car
whose
consumption
is
16.25
mpg
At
an
average
speed
of
40
m.p.h.
To
his
office
which
is
12
miles
away
And
he
stops
for
a
coffee
on
the
way
for
15
minutes
And
also
puts
air
in
one
of
his
tyres
Which
has
a
slow
puncture
Letting
out
air
at
a
rate
of
2 lbs
per
square
inch
Per
mile
travelled
When
the
car
is
moving
at
32
m.p.h.
And
he
picks
up
a
hitch-hiker
B
Who
weighs
14
stone
plus
suitcase
But
hitch-hiker
B
who
is
a
political
activist
Distributes
leaflets
from
his
suitcase
Each
of
which
weigh
an
ounce
At
the
scale
of
2 leaflets
per
person
At
every
bus
stop
And
every
vehicle
on
either
side
of
them
At
every
red
traffic
light
during
the
journey
Which
includes
20
bus
stops
With
an
average
of
6 people
per
stop
5 lorries
each
with
a
passenger
One
of
which
exchanged
a
Yorkie
Bar
Weighing
an
ounce
for
12
of
the
leaflets
And
2 coaches
each
containing
51
people
7 of
which
from
one
coach
returned
the
leaflets
And
16
people
from
the
other
coach
Who
asked
for
a
further
leaflet
Each
for
a
member
of
one
of
their
families
Assuming
that
man
A
Then
had
to
travel
a
further
2.86
miles
Out
of
his
way
to
drop
off
hitch-hiker
B
How
late
would
man
A
be
In
arriving
at
the
office
by
9:
30
a.m.?
If
he
still
had
6 miles
to
travel
And
his
watch
was
running
23
minutes
slow
But
the
clock
at
the
office
was
running
2 minutes
faster
than
his
Was
in
fact
17
minutes
and
3 secs
ahead
Of
the
correct
time
Which
was

in
the
morning
in
Caracas
If
when

He
telephoned

To

for

But

told
by
his
