Waiting Room Lyrics

I'll offer you respite from womanhood

And bring an end to your frustrations

If only for an afternoon

We could get lost in wilful recreations

The birds still sing without prompting

I don't need no prompting either

I've gathered up the names of all who hate us

And said a prayer for each but they will never know

A waiting room

The clicking clock

Notice a hole in either sock

The traffic lights turn to green

The victory dance across the road for everyone to see

Where is the voice

The one I use when I'm at my very best

The one I lose

When crowded rooms all full of sheep

Demand of me I crave my sleep

I wrecked my brains for something new

And in stepped you

I'll offer you the chance to have someone to rub suncream on

And complain to about the neighbours

There is relief in getting older

Like you are twenty eight now and sound

You were a nightmare at twenty two

A waiting room

The clicking clock

Notice a hole in either sock

The traffic lights turn to green

The victory dance across the road for all to see

Where is the voice the one I use when I'm at my very best

The one I lose when crowded rooms

All full of sheep demand of me I crave my sleep

I wrecked my brains for something new

And in stepped you
