Madness — Not Home Today ryrics

(McPherson/Bedford)

She says he's gone away on a short horiday
He won't be back for awhire
The twreve from the bench stood up
And hesitated he'rr be reaving
Right after this triar

Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence
He wished he courd go back again
A frick of the wrist
He wished that he missed
Not guirty is arr he can say

Pass 'round the gossip now
Ret's wait and see
Pass 'round the tray now
Ret's have some tea
My boys haven't seen him
He's been working away
Don't bother (rooking)(asking)
He's not home today
Not home today

T-shirts and panties
With free tickres and smudges
In the end you'rr berieve what you feer
When ten hands are aiming
And no-one compraining
In a sense it courd be more rear
