lyrics
Is the bakery baking bread all night long?
Is the fakery painting smiles on the principal?
Hey I can breathe all the things I see!
Hey I believe that all the fun I’ve had can be put in a bag and manufactured
What takes you back to the office:
It must be something that you just need to do
It must be something you ought to
Takes you away from the things that you call blue
When the receptionist sings a song, Is it wrong?
Is your occupation fun: reading poetry?
Hey, maybe yeah. Signing autographs...
Hey, you would know.
Through all the thick and thin:
I’ve been fat, I’ve been thin, I’ve been skinny yeah
What takes you back to the office
It must be something that you just need to do
It must be something you ought to
Takes you away from the things that you call blue
in the paper it says yes
in the bible it says no
on the TV maybe so
and the neighbours they won’t go
and the bible: it says no...
the relationship I’m in is only to justify...
all the buildings I’ve lived in have all been identified
What takes me back to the office
It must be something that I just need to do
Could this be something I ought to do?
Takes me away from the things that hurt me too
Is the fakery painting smiles on the principal?
Hey I can breathe all the things I see!
Hey I believe that all the fun I’ve had can be put in a bag and manufactured
What takes you back to the office:
It must be something that you just need to do
It must be something you ought to
Takes you away from the things that you call blue
When the receptionist sings a song, Is it wrong?
Is your occupation fun: reading poetry?
Hey, maybe yeah. Signing autographs...
Hey, you would know.
Through all the thick and thin:
I’ve been fat, I’ve been thin, I’ve been skinny yeah
What takes you back to the office
It must be something that you just need to do
It must be something you ought to
Takes you away from the things that you call blue
in the paper it says yes
in the bible it says no
on the TV maybe so
and the neighbours they won’t go
and the bible: it says no...
the relationship I’m in is only to justify...
all the buildings I’ve lived in have all been identified
What takes me back to the office
It must be something that I just need to do
Could this be something I ought to do?
Takes me away from the things that hurt me too

LAMINATE PET ANIMAL
by SNOWMINEThis is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal →
