Police lyrics : "Synchronicity 2"

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies

We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake

Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so.much heartache he can take
Many miles away

Something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake


Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today

He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like
cheap tarts in a red light street

But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away
Something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch


Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face

Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance

He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache

Many miles away
There's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore

Of a dark Scottish lake
Many miles away, many miles away
