Absolutely Negative Lyrics

While idling through a game, a riff on old mistakes The daybreak coming through the blind The landing light turns on and guessing I was done I took a dressing down But man, oh man! Outside the sphere of influence is over the moon, if absolutely negative So when recalling nervous talk & grace notes on the board The teenage front is recognised Where the telly in your room drowned out the ‘sorry, who?’ You’d remember if you cared to try But man, oh man! Outside the world of confidence is over the moon and absolutely negative Now there’s no cause to complain but unless I’ve read it wrong The seats are all occupied And the last sub to be played is feathering on the breaks and the minutes boogie by Outside the sphere of influence is over the moon To be outside the temporary I’d be over the moon but absolutely negative
