Dark of the Matinee

You take your white fingerSlide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazerRelax the fraying wool, slacken tiesAnd I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyesFind the eyesFind me and follow me through corridorsRefectories and files you must followLeave this academic factoryYou will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matineeIt's better in the matineeThe dark of the matinee is mine, yes it's mineI time every journey to bump into you accidentallyI charm you and tell you of the boys I hateAll the girls I hate, all the words I hate,all the clothes I hateHow I'll never be anything I hateYou smile, mention something that you likeOh, how you'd have a happy life if you did the things you likeFind me and follow me through corridorsRefectories and files you must followLeave this academic factoryYou will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matineeIt's better in the matineeThe dark of the matinee is mine, yes it's mineSo I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made itAnd what I made is unclear nowBut his deference is and his laughter isMy words and smile are so easy nowYes, it's easy now, yes, it's easy nowFind me and follow me through corridorsRefectories and files you must followLeave this academic factoryYou will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matineeIt's better in the matineeThe dark of the matinee is mine, yes it's mineWell, find me and follow me through corridorsRefectories and files you must followLeave this academic factoryYou will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matineeIt's better in the matineeThe dark of the matinee is mine, yes it's mine
