The wind is blowing The trees are swaying And this is their song It's getting louder And it's getting louder Maybe it won't be so long I'd like to see you Yeah, I'd like to talk to you But I don't feel so well Better turn the sound up Better turn the sound up I'll put my mouth into the microphone and yell Weekday shopping She's bought biscuits From supermarket tills She's bought Hovis She's had babies How the piped music thrills And every day you see us Down by the Town Hall To hear the television Read out the roll call And each will forfeit his divine right To tell her Seems like we're living In an amplified world And Pete and Johnny But they're getting older But they don't say so much Even though they still Share the same room They find it hard to keep in touch But I used to know them Was in their class for three years But time passed us by They're into speakers I'm into accidents Neither of us knows quite why Mother's still shopping She wears make-up But her face seems to crack And she's bought Ryvita She takes Mandrax No her husband never did come back I'm sorry I didn't answer The ubiquitous question And I'm sorry that you cried But I'm afraid that I just freaked out completely When I found out what you implied If you really want me Then you'd better call louder But I can't guarantee I'll come I'm unaware of your movements And I'm unaware of your thinking If you don't know the words just hum And I remember that girl who Used to hang out down the youth club You ain't seen her for so long Well I saw her Yeah I saw her When I asked her how it's going she said wrong And every day you see her Down by the Town Hall To hear the television Read out the roll call And each will forfeit his divine right To tell her Seems like we're living In an amplified world You say that you love me and You say that you need me You love my eccentric ways If you really mean that Better put it in writing I don't trust nobody these days And he's a man of passion and He's a man of knowledge But he's a man who can't be saved A man of nothing A man of skin and bone Don't expect me to dig your grave By the way don't go looking for your sister Because she's jumped Over the fence And she's down at Gatwick With a bottle of tablets Trying to make British Airways make sense And every day you see us Down by the Town Hall To hear the television Read out the roll call And each will forfeit his divine right To tell her Seems like we're living In an amplified world Amplified amplified amplified Amplified amplified amplified Amplified amplified amplified Amplified amplified amplified And I'm the old oak And I'm the East Wind And this is my song And it's getting louder And it's getting louder Maybe won't be so long.
