Nowhere Fast (Peel session, August 1984)

Lyrics

[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
