Lump In My Throat - The Departure, James Ford

I’ve got a lump in my throat

You say 'no-one's to blame but me'

And all the freaks on the front page

Telling little white lies

Programmed for an hour

Of Prime-Time TV

Look straight to the camera

Telling little white lies

I’ve got a bag with no airholes

I’ve got a chair with no seat

I’m gonna put myself inside this

And try and get some sleep

I’ve got a bag with no airholes

I’ve got a chair with no seat

I’m gonna put myself inside this

And try and get some sleep

I’ve got a lump in my throat

Yeah you’re all the same as me

On the same fashion stage

Nothing will surprise

Inside machines

Plugged into plan

And all the freaks on the front page

Telling little white lies

I’ve got a bag with no airholes

I’ve got a chair with no seat

I’m gonna put myself inside this

And try and get some sleep

I’ve got a bag with no airholes

I’ve got a chair with no seat

I’m gonna put myself inside this

And try and get some sleep

To believe in television

And all the freaks down the front

You’re gonna get yourself all made up

You’re gonna get yourself torn

Just try and get some sleep (x 4)
