You take your white finger, slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons  

Of my blazer, relax the fraying wool, slacken ties 
A5 E5 B5 D5 
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes find the eyes 

I time every journey to bump into you accidentally  

I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate, all girls I hate 

All the words I hate, all the clothes I hate, how I'll never be, anything I hate 

You smile mention something that you like, did you have a happy life if you did the things you like 

So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it 

And what I made is unclear now but his deference is and his laughter is 

My words and smile are so easy now, yes easy now, yes, it's easy now 
B5 
So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories  
D5 
And files you must follow, leave this academic factory  

You'll find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee  

Its better in the matinee, the dark of the matinee  
A5 C#5 B5 F#5  
Is mine, yes it's mine
