Pet Shop Boys - After The Event

Typical day Cars being towed away Junk mail through the door joins the post on the floor Drilling always someone drilling somewhere in the city authorised by committee Permission is bestowed according to postal code Terms and conditions may vary It's nothing out of the ordinary Sometimes someone gets upset doesn't hear the laughter takes it as a threat but it's different after After the event looks like someone's smiling happy to be here Blue skies heaven-sent There's a kind of glow illuminates the flow over to the east of traffic in the streets Not to be outdone the school run has begun Mothers all arrive each in a four-wheel drive Sometimes someone gets upset doesn't hear the laughter takes it as a threat but it's different after After the event looks like someone's smiling happy to be here Blue skies heaven-sent Evening comes as a surprise Suddenly someone dies Everyone's over-reacting with clich s and bad acting Misty in the rain flowers in their cellophane Policemen intervening Drama without meaning It's perfectly routine A statement from the Queen Obituaries appear You can leave your tributes here Sometimes someone gets upset doesn't hear the laughter takes it as a threat but it's different after After the event looks like someone's smiling happy to be here Blue skies heaven-sent
