Madness - Cardiac Arrest Lyrics
Papers in the morningBowler hat on headWalking to the bus stopHes longing for his bed,Waiting with his neighboursIn the rush hour queueGot to get the first busSo much for him to do.Hes got to hurryGot to get his seatCant miss his placeGot to rest his feet.Ten more minutes till he gets thereThe crosswords nearly done.Its been so hard these daysNot nearly so much fun.His mind wanders to the officeHis telephone, desk and chairHes been happy with the companyTheyve treated him real fair.Think of seven lettersBegin and end in cLike a big american carBut misspelt with a d.I wish this busd get a move on,Drivers taking his time.I just dont know, Ill be lateOh dear what will the boss say?Pull yourself together nowDont get in a stateDont you worryTheres no hurryIts a lovely dayCould all be going your wayTake the docs adviceLet up enjoy your lifeListen to what they sayIts not a game they play.Never get there at this rateHes caught up in a jam.Theres a meeting this morningIts just his luck oh damn!His hand dives in his pocketFor his handkerchief.Pearls of sweat on his collarHis pulse-beat seems so brief.Eyes fall on his wristwatchThe seconds pass real slowGasping for the hot airBut the chest pain it wont go.Tried to ask for helpBut cant seem to speak a word,Words are whispered franticallyBut dont seem to be heard.What about the wife and kids?They all depend on me!Were so sorryWe told you not to hurry.Now its just too lateYouve got a certain dateWe thought we made it clearWe all voiced our inner fearsWe left it up to youTheres nothing we can do.
