Lyrics All Leave Cancelled - The Fall

All Leave Cancelled

Why don’t you tell me?
Next time you ring
Why don’t you tell me
Next time you ring
Why don’t you tell me?
All leave’s cancelled again
All leave cancelled!
Why don’t you tell me
The next time you ring
Why don’t you tell me
The next time you ring
And, why can’t you ring and tell me?
Why can’t you just ring and tell me?
Disappearing glass
Disappearing in the glass
(Ba ba ba ba…)
Why can’t you
Why can’t you ring and tell me?
Why can’t you ring and tell me?
Why can’t you ring and tell me?
(In the garden?)
Why don’t you tell me
The vacuum pack
Isn’t ready
In the holy temple
Of the Quakers
Welcoming
Dismenting
Glasses
Miniscule
All leave cancelled
Who can’t be trusted
With a one half bucket of whiskey
Without injecting salad
All leave’s cancelled
In eight minutes, fifty seconds
It’s really nice
(All leave’s cancelled)
Gone, til
Five minutes twenty seconds
(All leave’s cancelled)
Title:
«All leave X»
(Wake up)
Going on ten minutes, oh five seconds
(And why can’t you ring and tell me?)
Arrow in green as used by the bandmates
(Why can’t you ring?)
Straight on
Resorting back
To a seven twenty
(Why can’t you just ring and tell me)
To eight fifty
Why can’t you wait for nine fifty
Is your art so shallow?
Do you have to abuse the indigenous
Over the borders of M1
With your savage puritan Polishness?
Laughing at you
As you go upstairs
With your African friends
To pitch against our goal
(I can’t!)
All leave cancelled
(Why?)
Why don’t you tell me next time
All leave’s cancelled again?
Why don’t you tell me
Next time you ring
All leave’s cancelled
All leave’s cancelled again?
Why don’t you tell me
Next time you ring?
Why don’t you tell me
Next time you ring?
One day you’re gonna be lonely
But I don’t know when just now
Lie-ie-es
