Lyrics All in an Afternoon - The Phoenix Foundation

All in an Afternoon

He was not the boy you thought him
Now you are dying of boredom
All in an afternoon I throw my temper around the room
She was not the girl I thought her
She could drive a man to murder
All in an afternoon I throw my temper around the room
My temper around the room, my temper ‘round the room
Now I can’t see the sky at all
I’m lying here I should be standing tall
But ah you look straight through and through ‘til I
I don’t know what to do
And the way you’re keeping silent
Makes me think that I should be more quiet
All in an afternoon I throw my, my temper around the room
My temper around th room, my temper ‘round the room
But as th evening falls and you find a moment’s pause
What a silly boy you have been
As if she could care, she was never even here
She just wanted you to disappear, and you threw your temper round the room
(Threw my) temper around the room
(Threw my) temper around the room
