[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Each morning after Sunblest
Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic
I waited by the staff room
In time for benediction

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
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

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
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"

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love, thеre's confusion
This must be the placе I waited years to leave
This must be the place I waited years to leave

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
And how
How long?
[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
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 of feeling hopelessness, I don't want to belong

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
I dreamt I was back in uniform
And a candidate for examination
History, someone had blundered
And a voice rapped, "Knuckle under"

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
And how
And how
How long?

[Outro: Andrei Vyshinsky]
Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину
