[Verse 1]
Your father has just left your mother
Gone off to live with his latest lover;
She sits there, just staring
So you get back to your own flat
Because the atmosphere in there
Is so bad you can't bear it
And the people you were going to America with
Just left on the dawn plane
Without you
[Verse 2]
The people in the downstairs flat
Are no longer there now because they left
The gas tap on, they're all dead
So you've no-one left to talk to
You just lie there in melancholy
Half-naked on your unmade bed
And the people you were going to Africa with
Just left on the Southern Star
Without you, without you
[Bridge]
Yes, and the haze that's been forming round your window-panes
Is now protracted and poisoned
And you cannot feel a portion of the world outside
Your father has just left your mother
Gone off to live with his latest lover;
She sits there, just staring
So you get back to your own flat
Because the atmosphere in there
Is so bad you can't bear it
And the people you were going to America with
Just left on the dawn plane
Without you
[Verse 2]
The people in the downstairs flat
Are no longer there now because they left
The gas tap on, they're all dead
So you've no-one left to talk to
You just lie there in melancholy
Half-naked on your unmade bed
And the people you were going to Africa with
Just left on the Southern Star
Without you, without you
[Bridge]
Yes, and the haze that's been forming round your window-panes
Is now protracted and poisoned
And you cannot feel a portion of the world outside
