Back to the Backroom Edwyn Collins

I've been doing a power of thinking
The Good Ship Lollipop is sinking
But I've been having such a good time
Just watching from the shoreline

Call waiting on the telephone
Only problem being the phone is off the hook
And besides, there's no-one home

All except in the backrooom
I'm operating in a vacuum
I'm going back to the backroom
I'm operating in a vacuum

Revolution on the South Bank
I poured poison in the think tank
Got out before the big crash
Caught the tail end of the whiplash

Reminiscing with the die-hards
Uptight with the old guard
Saying out of the spotlight
Don't get blinded by the spotlight

I'm going back to the backroom
I'm operating in a vacuum
I'm going back to the backroom
I'm operating in a vacuum
