This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave — Pet Shop Boys
(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?
