While You Were Out (Live at the Feile Festival, 31 July 1992) Lyrics, Letra:
Kiss the person next to you
While you were out spreading the gospels
According to whatever you believed in at the time
Her Majesty’s axeman cameth
And closed the hospital
The birthplace of our bonny baby Brian
Yesterday they took away our bus stop
Today they’ll try and take our happy home
Tomorrow I’ll be burnt as a witch
For playing punk rock
You picked a fine time to leave me
On my own
I know what you don’t know doesn’t hurt you
And the only time you get homesick’s when you get home
While you were out our whole future was in doubt
So get your finger out and phone
Please phone
Please phone
While joyriders filmed by sky
Rant and rave and drink and drive
Homicidal passers-by leave unattended bags outside our home
While you were out our whole future was in doubt
You better get your finger out NOW and phone!
Phone
Phone
Phone
Please phone
Please phone
Please phone
Please phone
Please phone, my number’s in the book
