This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave Lyrics


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

==============================================
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?
