This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave
Pet Shop Boys
[Intro] [Verse 1] Each morning after Sunblest Feel the benefit mental arithmetic I waited by the staffroom 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 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 /// (last one) /// [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 And how And how How long?
