Madness - Not Home Today - Текст песни

She says he's gone away on a short holiday 
He won't be back for awhile 
The twleve from the bench stood up 
And hesitated he'll be leaving 
right after this trial

Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence 
He wished he could go back again 
A flick of the wrist 
He wished that he missed 
Not guilty is all he can say

Pass 'round the gossip now 
Let's wait and see 
Pass 'round the tray now 
Let's have some tea 
My boys haven't seen him 
He's been working away 
Don't bother asking
he's not home today 
Not home today

T-shirts and badges 
With free tickles and smudges 
In the end you'll believe what you feel 
When ten hands are aiming 
And no-one is complaining 
In a sense it could be more real
