All Leave Cancelled - The Fall

Why don’t you tell me?

Next time you ring

Why don’t you tell me

Next time you ring

Why don’t you tell me?

All leave’s cancelled again

All leave cancelled!

Why don’t you tell me

The next time you ring

Why don’t you tell me

The next time you ring

And, why can’t you ring and tell me?

Why can’t you just ring and tell me?

Disappearing glass

Disappearing in the glass

(Ba ba ba ba…)

Why can’t you

Why can’t you ring and tell me?

Why can’t you ring and tell me?

Why can’t you ring and tell me?

(In the garden?)

Why don’t you tell me

The vacuum pack

Isn’t ready

In the holy temple

Of the Quakers

Welcoming

Dismenting

Glasses

Miniscule

All leave cancelled

Who can’t be trusted

With a one half bucket of whiskey

Without injecting salad

All leave’s cancelled

In eight minutes, fifty seconds

It’s really nice

(All leave’s cancelled)

Gone, til

Five minutes twenty seconds

(All leave’s cancelled)

Title:

«All leave X»

(Wake up)

Going on ten minutes, oh five seconds

(And why can’t you ring and tell me?)

Arrow in green as used by the bandmates

(Why can’t you ring?)

Straight on

Resorting back

To a seven twenty

(Why can’t you just ring and tell me)

To eight fifty

Why can’t you wait for nine fifty

Is your art so shallow?

Do you have to abuse the indigenous

Over the borders of M1

With your savage puritan Polishness?

Laughing at you

As you go upstairs

With your African friends

To pitch against our goal

(I can’t!)

All leave cancelled

(Why?)

Why don’t you tell me next time

All leave’s cancelled again?

Why don’t you tell me

Next time you ring

All leave’s cancelled

All leave’s cancelled again?

Why don’t you tell me

Next time you ring?

Why don’t you tell me

Next time you ring?

One day you’re gonna be lonely

But I don’t know when just now

Lie-ie-es
