I'm pretty sure I wrote this while I was in MoG. We might even have performed it as a group once, but so far I have not come across it in the show or rehearsal recordings.

Verse 2
- I had thought
- I had bought
- All the important things that I knew I'd been taught
- Till one day I found
- I'd misunderstood them all
- So I asked
- What was right
- 'Cause it kept me awake the whole bloody night
- But they never ever did return the call
Chorus 2
- People on every side of me
- Taking my business so seriously
- In every way, I know they've got me bested
- Spending my time in the usual way
- While they mark down the exact time of day
- I'd like to laugh, but I'd probably be arrested.
Verse 3
- It was time
- To go back
- 'Cause I had used up the supplies in my traveling pack
- And I didn't see any point in hanging on
- I was stopped
- At the gate
- By a lady who said it was much too late
- To ever read the writing on the lawn.
Chorus 3
- People on every side of me
- Taking my business so seriously
- And all the time I keep on being re-tested
- Watching the world as it floats away
- While they've noted down the exact time of day
- Any movement at all has completely been arrested.
