Not Home Today — текст песни (Madness)

She says hes gone away on a short holiday

He wont be back for awhile

The twleve from the bench stood up

And hesitated hell 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

Lets wait and see

Pass round the tray now

Lets have some tea

My boys havent seen him

Hes been working away

Dont bother asking

Hes not home today

Not home today



T-shirts and badges

With free tickles and smudges

In the end youll believe what you feel

When ten hands are aiming

And no-one is complaining

In a sense it could be more real
