Technique

(album: Swoon - 1984)

12345/12345... 12345/12345

Her husband works in Jodrell Bank, he's home late in the morning,
Had he been a lawyer, he wouldn't work for pennies.
In the morning I go walking, it helps the hurting soften,
I've seen a lot of places, 'cause I miss her very often.

But I could never work there, what a shame that I'm not clever,
It's for men with horn rimmed glasses, and four distinguished "A Level" passes.

What chance so long ago, I buried something I should know.
What chance so long ago, I buried something I should know.

Verse and chapter they unfurl, and sprinkle it upon the world. Name it.
Technique!
Their eyes don't fill with wonder when you speak,
And I loathe the stilted way you make me speak.
Without recourse to lying distortion or cheating.
Technique!
Their eyes don't fill with wonder when you speak,
And I loathe the stilted way you make me speak.
