Cardiac Arrest — текст песни (Madness)

Papers in the morning
Bowler hat on head
Walking to the bus stop
He`s longing for his bed,
Waiting with his neighbours
In the rush hour queue
Got to get the first bus
So much for him to do.
He`s got to hurry
Got to get his seat
Can`t miss his place
Got to rest his feet.

Ten more minutes till he gets there
The crossword`s nearly done.
It`s been so hard these days
Not nearly so much fun.
His mind wanders to the office
His telephone, desk and chair
He`s been happy with the company
They`ve treated him real fair.
Think of seven letters
Begin and end in `C`
Like a big American car
But misspelt with a `D`.
I wish this bus`d get a move on,
Driver`s taking his time.
I just don`t know, I`ll be late
Oh dear what will the boss say?
Pull yourself together now
Don`t get in a state

Don`t you worry
There`s no hurry
It`s a lovely day
Could all be going your way
Take the doc`s advice
Let up enjoy your life
Listen to what they say
It`s not a game they play.

Never get there at this rate
He`s caught up in a jam.
There`s a meeting this morning
It`s just his luck oh damn!
His hand dives in his pocket
For his handkerchief.
Pearls of sweat on his collar
His pulse-beat seems so brief.
Eyes fall on his wristwatch
The seconds pass real slow
Gasping for the hot air
But the chest pain it won`t go.
Tried to ask for help
But can`t seem to speak a word,
Words are whispered frantically
But don`t seem to be heard.
What about the wife and kids?
They all depend on me!

We`re so sorry
We told you not to hurry.
Now it`s just too late
You`ve got a certain date
We thought we made it clear
We all voiced our inner fears
We left it up to you
There`s nothing we can do.
