Lyrics

Each morning
After sun blessed
Feel the benefit of mental arithmetic

I waited 
By the staff room
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 a 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

Everybody 
Ev
Everybody

Everybody
Ev
Everybody

How long?

Everybody
Ev 
Everybody

Everbody
Jump to attention

I'm listening to the words I thought I'd never hear again
A litany of saints and other ordinary men
Kneeling on the parqué, 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
How long?

This must be the place I waited years to leave
This must be the place I waited years to leave
And how
How long?
How long?
How long?

This must be the place
Be the place
Be the place 
I waited years to leave
And how
How long?
