Pet Shop Boys - Cricket wife lyrics

Time has stopped the air is still
Nothing moves or ever will
Present tense is future past
Velocity slows so fast the air is still
Nothing moves or ever will

"I'm going home i've had enough
Call a taxi i want my stuff
Where are my shoes? My coat?
My hat? Get me out
I smell a rat i can't remember why or when
They brought me here but this is there
And then is now" a sudden sigh
"And now it's late and where am I?
And where am I? Where am I?"
A sudden sigh "Where am I?"

"Whey are my shoes? My coat, my hat?
Just get me out i smell a rat
Whey are my shoes? My coat, my hat?
Just get me out i smell a rat
Whey are my shoes? My coat, my hat?
Just get me out i smell a rat"

"I can't remember why or when
They brought me here but this then
And then is now" a sudden sigh
A sudden sigh "And now it's late
And where am I?" a sudden sigh
A sudden sigh and now it's late"

Another sigh then sleep to dream
Laughing, flying from the scene
I saw you clearly in my mind
Fly and leave it all behind bones and blood
And anxious anger
Replaced in space by girlish laughter

A sunny day his turn to bat
The cricket wives sip tea and chat
"That's that, he's out
Not such a bad innings
They still have a fair
Enough chance of winning" his boyish smile
She understands him his lack of guile
Her soul demands him he packs his bat
They're off together and that was that
And is forever
