Madness - Not home today

She says he's gone away on a short holiday He won't be back for awhile The twleve from the bench stood up And hesitated he'll be leaving right after this trial Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence He wished he could go back again A flick of the wrist He wished that he missed Not guilty is all he can say Pass 'round the gossip now Let's wait and see Pass 'round the tray now Let's have some tea My boys haven't seen him He's been working away Don't bother asking he's not home today Not home today T-shirts and badges With free tickles and smudges In the end you'll believe what you feel When ten hands are aiming And no-one is complaining In a sense it could be more real
