Bell X1 - Just Like Mr Benn

Lyrics

Put your sweet fingers

A little closer to the keyboard

It's hard to read between your lines

We were the clock hands at midnight

Now you're four whole hours behind

Just put your fingers

A little closer to the keyboard

I can't quite see the whites of your eyes

Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean

And I fall over in their breeze

I don't bring you spices from the East

And I don't bring you the world's you crave

'cause everyday you need a new one

Just like Mr. Benn

Just like Mr. Benn

Just like Mr. Benn

Put your sweet fingers

A little closer to the keyboard

We pass light bits in the night

Though you send your flare to the horizon

I just stare and blink in your light

No, I don't speak in all your tongues

So I don't even know if I'll be welcome

What if I appeared as if by magic?

Just like in Mr. Benn

Just like Mr. Benn

Just like Mr. Benn

So go if you're going

You keep pouring when I say when

Come home when your work there is done

Just like, just like

Just like Mr. Benn

Just like Mr. Benn

Just like Mr. Benn

Just like Mr. Benn

Just put your fingers

A little closer to the keyboard

It's hard to read between your lines

We were the clock hands at midnight

Now you're four whole hours behind
