Take stock of your time and ability
make room for the noise on your page
canand't give enough, canand't give enough
iand'm the man with the means and the influence
i wonand't leave you alone in my time
canand't give enough, canand't give enough
So you rank with the names on the underground
they hope to see a sign of me falling down
knock-knock-knock, knockinand' on my windowsill
another sweet reminder just to pay the bill
i canand't see the jokes, am i hearing right?
i canand't see the point of this circle tight
can we hang around, we wonand't say a word
remember itand's us, now...
Conditioned not to wait
i intended to be late
youand're never wrong
(take stock of your time and ability
make room for the noise on your page)
trust you not to learn
with the tables turned the tables turned
Sub-standard sounds, stand and take a bow
pat each otherand's back
oh really canand't you feel it now
you can blow your trumpet
i donand't have to listen in
unfortunate like mine itand's just another din
easily misread, easily mistook
read about yourself when you create a look
we can manage to run on our own steam
remember itand's us, now...
Conditioned not to wait
i intended to be late
youand're never wrong
(take stock of your time and ability
make room for the noise on your page)
trust you not to learn
with the tables turned the tables turned
All the stories i told, you couldnand't hear me
(i know the words have got no meaning)
all the things that you wrote, you wouldnand't teach me
(i know the words have got no meaning)
every word you say i am believing
(i know the words have got no meaning)
even i was aware you didnand't need me
i told you nothing!
Take stock of your time and ability
make room for the noise on your page
canand't give enough, canand't give enough
iand'm the man with the means and the influence
i wonand't leave you alone in my time
canand't give enough, canand't give enough.
