  • Couldn't make a decision
    On mastermind specialism
    No career, no religion
    Another year, no precision
    I am the lamb you had for your tea
    And I am the tiger who came
    I am the bag you boiled her in
    The water, the teeth, the flame
    Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
    Pulled taut by the ultimatum
    Maybe spotlights aren't for me
    Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy
    Nosferatu, Tarrant's teeth
    Did you hear about the wife
    Who never made it down the aisle?
    Did you hear about the child
    Halfway down, he hopped the slide?
    Bittersweet and less is more
    Damned if you do, damned if you don't
    Doctor Who and doublethink
    The path not took, fork in the road
    Hmm, hmm, hmm
    Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
    Hmm (tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor)
    Hmm (singer, porn star, writer, thief)
    Hmm (tinker, tailor, soldier, spy)
    Hmm (Nosferatu, Tarrant's teeth)
    Hmm (did you hear about the wife)
    Hmm (who never made it down the aisle?)
    Hmm (did you hear about the child)
    Hmm (halfway down, he hopped the slide?)
    Hmm (bittersweet and less is more)
    Hmm (damned if you do, damned if you don't)
    Hmm (Doctor Who and doublethink)
    Hmm (the path not took, fork in the road)
    Hmm Writer/s: Douglas Frost, Lewis Whiting, Lilly Fontaine, Nicholas Eden
