lyrics

She was sitting on a chair in the middle of the street
Then later she was there in the lift
When I couldn't find my keys, she had em in her hand
if she'd been in my flat, she hadn't left a gift
well I'm telling you just how it is
the government's responsible for this

I was looking for my wallet, when I found a patch
fumbling round for the switch
Someone had been through my underwear
and my sixth sense was starting to itch.
I'm giving you a feel, how it is
the government's responsible for this

Allies advise me to pull the blinds
she's never really gone, because the heating's on
my radio is tuned to a station on the moon
if these mysteries are true
deserters will never make it home
They lied in dispatch - there'll never be an end to the war

She dropped off a note with Ali from the deli
slipped between the lettuce in my wrap
you'd better not forget, they've frozen time
and my body clock's starting to tick
we're going to get our stories split
the government's responsible for this

My eyes, so tired when I pull the blinds
the aspidistra sways twitching side to side
there's been a breakthrough, perhaps news has got through
but if these mysteries are true
I'd be the last to be told
They lied in dispatch - there'll never be an end to the war

Surprise surprise when I pull the blinds
she's never really gone, because the heating's on
my radio is tuned to a station on the moon
and so if these mysteries are true
deserters will never make it home
They lied in dispatch - there'll never be an end to the war
An end to the war

Bobby Bluff Hastings, UK

Martin Rowson - “Imagine Bertholdt Brecht, David Bowie about to book his ticket to Berlin and John Otway had kittens and puppies, and that those hellspawn then interbred incestuously - their progeny would probably sound like "Introducing Bobby Bluff", but with the passionate intensity toned down. I can think of no higher praise than that. Brilliant stuff.” ... more
