Verse 1:
You tak your white finger
Slide the nail under
The top and bottom buttons of
My blazer

Relax the fraying wool
Slacken ties at you in the shoe
But the eyes
Fight the eyes

Chorus:
Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files you must follow leave
This academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

Verse 2:
I time every journey
To bump into you
Accidentally I
Charm you and tell you
Of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
All the clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
Oh, how you'd have a happy life
If you did the things you like

Chorus:
Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files you must follow leave
This academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

Verse 3:
So I'm on BBC2 now
Tellin' Terry Wogan how
I made it and
What I made is unclear now
But his differences and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes it's easy now
Yes it's easy now

Chorus:
Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files you must follow leave
This academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

Chorus:
Find me and follow me
Through corridors, refectories
And files you must follow leave
This academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine
