The Dark Of The Matinée

From the subtle ones
The buttons go
My jacket's on now,
You turn my insides soft
Around there's no
If not you, you’re my everything
Your gaze
Your gaze

Keep following me from the hallway to the dining room
Come on, you gotta leave the academic factory
Find me at the matinée
In this dark matinée
The good thing about the matinée
Is that it’s my matinée
You’ll see, you’ll see

I prepare trips
To run into you
In a casual meet
I wanna tell you
Who makes me hate
People to hate
Words to hate
Clothes to hate
And how I won’t be
Something to hate
But your smile speaks of living
Doing nothing else
Things you usually love

Keep following me from the hallway to the dining room
Come on, you gotta leave the academic factory
Find me at the matinée
In this dark matinée
The good thing about the matinée
Is that it’s my matinée
You’ll see, you’ll see

Now I’m on the radio (I’m singing on the radio)
I remember Terry Wogan like I did
My highs aren’t clear (and the radio isn’t clear)
And he laughs differently than me
My laugh and my talk are so simple today (and it’s so simple today)
It’s so easy today
So straightforward today

Keep following me from the hallway to the dining room
Come on, you gotta leave the academic factory
Find me at the matinée
In this dark matinée
The good thing about the matinée
Is that it’s my matinée

Keep following me from the hallway to the dining room
Come on, you gotta leave the academic factory
Find me at the matinée
In this dark matinée
The good thing about the matinée
Is that it’s my matinée
You’ll see, you’ll see
