Take your white finger
And slide it in under
The top and bottom buttons of
My blazer
Relax the fraying wool
Slacken ties and I
Not to look at you in the shoe
But the eyes
Find the eyes

Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files
You must follow
Leave this academic factory
You’ll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It’s better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
Is mine
Yes, it’s mine

I time every journey
To bump into you
Accidentally I
Charm you and tell you
Of the boys I hate
All the 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
Oh, how you’d have a happy life
If you did the things you like

Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files
You must follow
Leave this academic factory
You’ll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It’s better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
Is mine
Yes, it’s mine

So I’m on BBC2 now
Telling Terry Logan 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
Yes, it’s easy now
Yes, it’s easy now

Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files
You must follow
Leave this academic factory
You’ll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It’s better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee

Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files
You must follow
Leave this academic factory
You’ll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It’s better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
Is mine
Yes, it’s mine
