This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave

[Verse 1]

Each morning after Sunblest

Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic

I waited by the staff room

In time for benediction

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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!"

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

And how

How long?

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

I dreamt I was back in uniform

And a candidate for examination

History, someone had blundered

And a voice rapped "knuckle under!"

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

And how

And how

How long?

[Outro: Andrei Vyshinsky]

"Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"
