Dark of the matinée

Dark of the matinée Lyrics

You take your white finger
Slide the nail under
The top and bottom buttons of my blazer
Relax the fraying wool
Slacken ties and I'm
Not to look at you in the shoe
But the eyes
Find the eyes
Find me and follow me
Through corridors refectories
And files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
Will find me in the matinée
The dark of the matinée
It's better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée is mine
Yes it's mine

I time every journey
To bump into you accidentally
I charm you and tell you
Of the boys I hate, all the girls I hate
All the words I hate, all the clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
Oh, how you'd have a happy life
If you did the things you like

Find me and follow me
Through corridors refectories
And files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
Will find me in the matinée
The dark of the matinée
It's better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée is mine
Yes it's mine

So I'm on BBC2 now
Telling Terry Wogan how I made it and
What I made is unclear now
But his deference is
And his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes it's easy now
Yes it's easy now

Find me and follow me
Through corridors refectories
And files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
Will find me in the matinée
The dark of the matinée
It's better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée

Well, find me and follow me
Through corridors refectories
And files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
Will find me in the matinée
The dark of the matinée
It's better in the matinée
The dark of the matinée is mine
Yes it's mine!
