Close the Door Lyrics by Idlewild

Hope Is Important

1998

Cos I'm the one who knows everyone
Barbecue lungs
None of you know what I'm thinking

Who on earth would believe
A word that you say?
You're disturbed in a strange fascinated way

You're disturbed
I think your disturbed
I've told you once
To switch all the lights off

You never believe that
You never believe that
And you can stay near the window

Phone me at 3 or 4
Close the door
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Phone me at 3 or 4
Phone me at 3 or 4
It's time for the maths test

I come over to you
At your chair you face up
I reply impolitely stare back
Back

I'm so backward
I almost forgot
Why I'm sinking

Phone me at 3 or 4
Close the door
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Phone me at 3 or 4
Phone me at 3 or 4
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test

Half the times I lack sound the way
I really think of you otherwise
[?]

Phone me at 3 or 4
Close the door

It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
It's time for the maths test
