Of and ahead of itself. Sorry.

lyrics

Terry and Jack

Terry walked out the newspaper shop,
Into the arms of Jack.
Staggered off and made an excuse,
I’m really, really sorry.

All the boys in Terry’s town
Love computers.
Life is lived in the binary mode,
Two and three is four.

Jack never says a word,
Terry crashed his programme.
Run, go to, poke and peak,
He’s said it all before.

Couldn’t come to your party,
Guess I owe you an apology.
Couldn’t come to your party.

Seven men crossed over the bridge,
Into the arms of Zion.
Bye-bye Mum and Dad,
We’re really, really sorry.

Couldn’t come to your party,
Guess I owe you an apology.
Couldn’t come to your party.


Couldn’t come to your party,
Fall down on my bended knees,
Couldn’t come to your party…

No jobs for anyone,
Not even Anatoly Sharansky.
No part-time dumb waiters wanted,
We’re really, really sorry.

All the boys in Terry’s town,
Connected up by modem.
Signal home from work to base,
Put the kettle on…
