Not Home Today

She says he's gone away on a short holiday

He won't be back for awhile

The twleve from the bench stood up

And hesitated he'll be leaving

Right after this trial



Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence

He wished he could go back again

A flick of the wrist

He wished that he missed

Not guilty is all he can say



Pass 'round the gossip now

Let's wait and see

Pass 'round the tray now

Let's have some tea

My boys haven't seen him

He's been working away

Don't bother asking

He's not home today

Not home today



T-shirts and badges

With free tickles and smudges

In the end you'll believe what you feel

When ten hands are aiming

And no-one is complaining

In a sense it could be more real
