(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?
