Technique

Her husband works in Jodrell Bank, he’s home late in the morning
Had he been a lawyer, he wouldn’t work for pennies

But I could never work there, what a shame that I’m not clever
It’s for men with horn rimmed glasses, and four distinguished «A Level» passes
What chance so long ago, I buried something I should know
What chance so long ago, I buried something I should know
Verse and chapter they unfurl, — and sprinkle it upon the world. Name it
Technique !
Their eyes don’t fill with wonder when you speak

Without recourse to lying distortion or cheating
Technique !
Their eyes don’t fill with wonder when you speak
And I loathe the stilted way you make me speak
