[Intro] [Fuzz bass and combo organ shuffle, tambourine] [Verse 1] Last bus left me on the Fenland road Suitcase, typewriter, nowhere to go Man in tweed says "Splendid, you'll do" Type up the figures, don't read them through [Pre-Chorus] Tea in the mug and rain on the glass Numbers too big to let them pass [Chorus] It's bigger than yesterday Bigger than the day before Nobody listens to the temp But something's scratching at the door It's bigger than yesterday And it's growing while I sleep Out there in the allotment Where the rows are dark and deep [Verse 2] Growth Trial Seven, I type it in rows Weight and the length, and the length still grows He pats it like a pony, says "Isn't she grand?" I'm holding my clipboard with both of my hands [Pre-Chorus] Ask about the vines and he fills his pipe Says "Dear girl, you're only here to type" [Chorus] It's bigger than yesterday Bigger than the day before Nobody listens to the temp But something's scratching at the door It's bigger than yesterday And it's growing while I sleep Out there in the allotment Where the rows are dark and deep [Bridge] Last bus gone and the sky goes red Tartan blanket on a narrow bed Something long goes dragging past Just the wind (just the wind) Just the wind Probably [Break] [Spoken, deadpan] Note for the file. It is not in its bed any more. [Final Chorus] It's bigger than yesterday Bigger than the day before Nobody listens to the temp But something's creeping round the door It's bigger than yesterday And it's growing while I sleep Out there in the allotment Where the rows are dark and deep [Outro] Bigger than yesterday (Bigger than yesterday) Bigger than yesterday [Organ swell, fuzz bass fades] [End]
