Madness - Cardiac Arrest(1982)

[00:18.65] Papers in the morning
[00:20.41] Bowler hat on head
[00:22.49] Walking to the bus stop
[00:24.25] Hes longing for his bed,
[00:26.22] Waiting with his neighbours
[00:28.02] In the rush hour queue
[00:30.24] Got to get the first bus
[00:32.08] So much for him to do.
[00:34.14] Hes got to hurry
[00:36.08] Got to get his seat
[00:37.84] Can't miss his place
[00:40.05] Got to rest his feet.
[00:41.99] Ten more minutes till he gets there
[00:43.89] The crosswords nearly done.
[00:46.05] Its been so hard these days
[00:47.74] Not nearly so much fun.
[00:49.81] His mind wanders to the office
[00:51.53] His telephone, desk and chair
[00:53.66] Hes been happy with the company
[00:55.55] Theyve treated him real fair.
[00:57.65] Think of seven letters
[00:59.40] Begin and end in c
[01:01.36] Like a big american car
[01:03.40] But misspelt with a d.
[01:05.50] I wish this busd get a move on,
[01:07.66] Drivers taking his time.
[01:09.48] I just dont know, I'll be late
[01:11.17] Oh dear what will the boss say?
[01:13.33] Pull yourself together now
[01:15.03] Don't get in a state
[01:17.27] Don't you worry
[01:19.16] There's no hurry
[01:21.14] It's a lovely day
[01:22.96] Could all be going your way
[01:25.01] Take the docs advice
[01:26.96] Let up enjoy your life
[01:28.98] Listen to what they say
[01:29.66] Its not a game they play.
[01:32.83]
[01:50.25] Never get there at this rate
[01:52.03] Hes caught up in a jam.
[01:54.14] There's a meeting this morning
[01:55.90] It's just his luck oh damn!
[01:58.18] His hand dives in his pocket
[01:59.84] For his handkerchief.
[02:02.09] Pearls of sweat on his collar
[02:03.83] His pulse-beat seems so brief.
[02:05.88] Eyes fall on his wristwatch
[02:07.61] The seconds pass real slow
[02:09.76] Gasping for the hot air
[02:11.76] But the chest pain it wont go.
[02:13.76] Tried to ask for help
[02:15.22] But cant seem to speak a word,
[02:17.65] Words are whispered frantically
[02:19.34] But dont seem to be heard.
[02:21.22] What about the wife and kids?
[02:23.24] They all depend on me!
[02:25.41] We're so sorry
[02:27.30] We told you not to hurry.
[02:29.11] Now its just too late
[02:31.02] You've got a certain date
[02:32.93] We thought we made it clear
[02:34.99] We all voiced our inner fears
[02:36.88] We left it up to you
[02:39.07] Theres nothing we can do.
[02:42.16]
