This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave

(tennant/lowe)

----------------

(everybody e-e-everybody

Everybody e-e-everybody

Everybody e-e-everybody

Everybody jump to attention...)



Each morning after sunblest

Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic

I waited by the staffroom

In time for benediction

Living a law just short of delusion

When we fall in love there's confusion

This must be the place i waited years to leave



To our voices nobody's listening

We shiver in the rain by the touchline

Then a coach ride to the station

"my lord, the carriage awaiteth!"

Living a law just short of delusion

When we fall in love there's confusion

This must be the place i waited years to leave

This must be the place i waited years to leave

And how

How long?



I'm listening to the words i thought i'd never hear again

A litany of saints and other ordinary men

Kneeling on the parquet

Whatever has gone wrong?

The fear and feeling hopelessness

I don't want to belong



I dreamt i was back in uniform

And a candidate for examination

History, someone had blundered

And a voice rapped "knuckle under!"

Living a law just short of delusion

When we fall in love there's confusion

This must be the place i waited years to leave

This must be the place i waited years to leave

And how

And how

How long?
