  • Sitting in a hotel room, have to start work soon
    Hmm
    Breakfast on a plastic tray, Birmingham is very grey
    Hmm
    Wasn't very good last night, got to be bright
    Tonight

    The hotel room is green and white, nothing blue in sight
    Hmm
    Landscape on the wall, a pond of trees quite tall
    Hmm
    Tv on a stand, guitar in my hands
    Hmm

    Last night, I thought, "I'll never ever write another song"
    Last night, I decided that all the songs I write are wrong
    Last night, was nothing to write about, that's why I'm writing this song
    Last night, was a night to forget about, like you forget when I'm gone

    Sitting in a hotel room (sitting in a hotel room)
    Finish this song soon (finish this song soon)
    Hmm
    Got to do a TV show (got to do a TV show)
    In Manchester, oh, no
    Hmm
    Put the guitar away, nothing more to say
    Hmm Writer/s: Labi Siffre
