SINGER: Pet Shop Boys

SONG: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?
