(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?
