Put your sweet fingers |
|
A little closer to the keyboard |
|
It's hard to read between your lines |
|
We were the clock hands at midnight |
|
Now you're four whole hours behind |
|
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard |
|
I can't quite see the whites of your eyes |
|
Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean |
|
And I fall over in their breeze |
|
I don't bring you spices from the |
|
East I don't bring you the world's you crave ' |
|
Cos everyday you need a new one |
|
Just like |
|
Mr Benn, just like |
|
Mr Benn Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard |
|
We pass light bits in the night |
|
Though you send your flare to the horizon |
|
I just stare and blink in your light |
|
I don't speak in all your tongues |
|
So I don't even know if |
|
I'll be welcome |
|
But what if |
|
I appeared as if by magic? |
|
Just like in |
|
Mr Benn So go if you're going |
|
You keep pouring when |
|
I say when |
|
Come home when your |
|
Work there is done |
|
Just like |
|
Mr Benn Put your sweet fingers |
|
A little closer to the keyboard |
|
It's hard to read between your lines |
|
We were the clock hands at midnight |
