Lyrics
This must be the place I waited years to leave
(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?

Lyrics T
- That's my impression
- The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
- The calm before the storm
- The dumpling song
- The end of the world
- The former enfant terrible
- The ghost of myself
- The loving kind
- The man who has everything
- The night I fell in love
- The only one
- The resurrectionist
- The Samurai in autumn
- The Sodom and Gomorrah show
- The sound of the atom splitting
- The survivors
- The theatre
- The truck-driver and his mate
- The view from your balcony
- The way it used to be
- This must be the place I waited years to leave
- This used to be the future
- Time on my hands
- To face the truth
- To speak is a sin
- To step aside
- Together
- Tonight is forever
- Too many people
- Tranquilizer
- Transparent
- Try it (I'm in love with a married man)
- Twentieth Century
- Two divided by zero
