Absolutely Negative

While idling through a game
A riff on old mistakes
Daybreak coming through the blinds
The landing light turns on
And guessing I was done
I took addressing down

But man, oh man
Outside the sphere of influence is over the moon
And absolutely negative

So when recalling nervous talk
Of grace notes on the bow
The teenage front just recognised
Where the telly in your room
Drowned out the sorry who
You'd remember if you cared to try

But man, oh man
Outside the world of confidence is over the moon
And absolutely negative
Negative, negative
Negative, negative
Negative, negative
Negative, negative

Now there's no cause to complain
But unless I'd read it wrong
The streets are all occupied
And the life's up to be played
As friends bring on the brakes
And the minister defies
Remembering if you cared

But man, oh man
Outside the sphere of influence is over the moon
Over the moon, over the moon
To be outside the temporary
I'd be over the moon
And absolutely negative
