I've been working up a sweat, I've been working up a sweat
I've been waking up in sweats, I've been working on it
I've been up and down again, I've been up and down again
I've been riding on the train nearly every morning
Like a badly shuffled deck, like a slowly moving threat
Like a burning British neck on an August evening

Here it comes again

I've been sleeping every night, I've been sleeping every night
I've been sleeping through the night, I've been sleeping on it
I've been trying very hard, I've been trying very hard
I've been trying very hard, how're you doing Oli?
Like a one-two on a cheque, like a one-two on a cheque
Like a burning British neck on an August evening

Here it comes again

I've been playing hard to get, I've been playing hard to get
I've been playing hard to get, I've been playing on it
I'm like putty in your hand, won't you put me in your band?
But you know I'm in a band, is this speaker working?
Like an empty promise kept, like a shot across the net
Like a burning British neck on an August evening

Here it comes again
Oh, here it comes again

Walking 'round a corner
Somewhere in the distance
Very, very near now
Calling out again
Walking 'round a corner
Somewhere in the distance
Very, very near now
Very, very near now with a… bang!
