Lyrics
Early to work, bag and the keys
The march to town
Rain splits the floor and files underground
Down escalators, past the posters
Grabs the latest news
We can't help it, it's our fault
Memory fades and stays background
Home of the trains
Words fill the air but die in seconds
The work here is done and left on the ground
Read all about it, do without it
Who's without this news?
Yesterday's paper discarded again
Like cash and old favour, save it for later
The story's rehearsed, repeated again
Out of sight, out of mind, yet it still remains
Who stays waiting? Who holds the gun?
Standing by somewhere, save for another time
Yesterday's news say the worst is to come
So it's done now, is gone, yet only begun
The following pictures are cropped to the fit
So the shock disappears as soon as it hits
Who stays waiting? Who holds the gun?
Standing by somewhere, save for another time
The telephone bleeps, I'm dragged from the bed
The morning is dark, the headlines are fresh
There's nothing in between what is and what is
Is that what I'm looking for? Whose business is this?
You recognise yourself in another
You recognise another and in time
Those games in the park and places you go
How will I know?
How can you leave me in the dark?
The radio bullets repeating ahead
The voice cuts the line, the word left unsaid
There's nothing in between what is and what is
Is that what I'm looking for? Whose business is this?
You recognise yourself in another
You recognise another and in time
Those games in the park and places you go
How will I know?
How can you leave me in the dark?
