This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave - Lyrics by Pet Shop Boys


Lyrics
==============================================
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?
