Cardiac Arrest lyrics
by Madness
(Smash/Foreman)Papers in the morningBowler hat on headWalking to the bus stopHe's longing for his bed,Waiting with his neighboursIn the rush hour queueGot to get the first busSo much for him to do.He's got to hurryGot to get his seatCan't miss his placeGot to rest his feet.Ten more minutes till he gets thereThe crossword's nearly done.It's been so hard these daysNot nearly so much fun.His mind wanders to the officeHis telephone, desk and chairHe's been happy with the companyThey've treated him real fair.Think of seven lettersBegin and end in 'C'Like a big American carBut misspelt with a 'D'.I wish this bus'd get a move on,Driver's taking his time.I just don't know, I'll be lateOh dear what will the boss say?Pull yourself together nowDon't get in a stateDon't you worryThere's no hurryIt's a lovely dayCould all be going your wayTake the doc's adviceLet up enjoy your lifeListen to what they sayIt's not a game they play.Never get there at this rateHe's caught up in a jam.There's a meeting this morningIt's just his luck oh damn!His hand dives in his pocketFor his handkerchief.Pearls of sweat on his collarHis pulse-beat seems so brief.Eyes fall on his wristwatchThe seconds pass real slowGasping for the hot airBut the chest pain it won't go.Tried to ask for helpBut can't seem to speak a word,Words are whispered franticallyBut don't seem to be heard.What about the wife and kids?They all depend on me!We're so sorryWe told you not to hurry.Now it's just too lateYou've got a certain dateWe thought we made it clearWe all voiced our inner fearsWe left it up to youThere's nothing we can do.
