Nowhere Fast (Peel session, August 1984)

[Verse 1]

I'd like to drop my trousers to the world

I am a man of means of slender means

Each household appliance is like a new science in my town

[Refrain]

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in the ocean

[Chorus]

And when a train goes by it's such a sad sound

Da, dum, da-dum, da-dum, dah-dum, da-dee-da-da-da-dum

It's such a sad thing

[Verse 2]

I'd like to drop my trousers to the Queen

Every sensible child will know what this means

The poor and the needy are selfish and greedy on her terms

[Refrain]

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably jump in thе ocean

[Chorus]

And when a train goes by it's such a sad sound

(Da, dum, da-dum, da-da-dah, da-da-da-dee-da-dum)

It's such a sad thing

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

And whеn I'm lying in my bed

I think about life and I think about death

And neither one particularly appeals to me

[Refrain]

And if the day came when I felt a natural emotion

I'd get such a shock I'd probably lie

In the middle of the street and die

[Outro]

I'd lie down and die

Oh, woah, woah
