lyrics

Anger Bob marooned in morning traffic
Anger Bob shouts something at the cars
Anger Bob perched high on night-time rooftops
Shouts irate manifestos at the stars

Anger Bob eats angrily from paper bags
Anger Bob beats fists against the glass
Anger Bob is a fixture in the city
As permanent as dead and dusty grass

Did you wish to leave a message?
In your own words, please describe
Your early days (days)
Please, take a seat
Complete all forms in Biro please
List every item that you need
Do not expect to ever leave the maze

Anger Bob distrusts his own reflection
Anger Bob slides nervously past shops
Anger Bob means something to commuters
But this is not to say they’d like to swap

Did you wish to leave a message?
In your own words, please describe
Your early days (days)
Please, take a seat
Complete all forms in Biro please
List every item that you need
Do not expect to ever leave the maze

A patron saint for modern time
I see his only states of mind
Are anger, fury, irritation, rage
Did you once live ordinary days?

Did you wish to leave a message?
In your own words, please describe
Your early days (days)
Please, take a seat
Complete all forms in Biro please
List every item that you need
Do not expect to ever leave the maze

Don’t expect, don’t expect, don’t expect to ever
Don’t expect, don’t expect, don’t expect to ever
Don’t expect, don’t expect, don’t expect to ever
Don’t expect to ever leave the maze

Don’t expect, don’t expect, don’t expect to ever
Don’t expect, don’t expect, don’t expect to ever
Don’t expect, don’t expect, don’t expect to ever
Leave
