[Verse 1: soft male] The list is longer than it was When I began. Each time I cross a line out, Something else lands in my hands. The light is leaving the window. I haven't been outside. I can hear my friends below. I don't look up this time. [Female: deep growl] CLEAN YOUR ROOM. UNDER THE BED AS WELL. [Pre-Chorus: soft male] I'm almost at the bottom. There's only one thing left. [Female: demonic growl] THEN COME DOWNSTAIRS. [Chorus: soft male] Leave me the evening. Leave me that much. I've given you the daylight. Isn't that enough? [Female: demonic growl] DO THE WASHING-UP. [Male: soft, sustained] Leave me the evening. There's so little left. [Female: demonic growl] THE BATHROOM'S NEXT. [Verse 2: soft male] I've washed the plates. I've washed the cups. There's something soaking in a pan. I wasn't even here for lunch. I don't know why it's in my hands. The water's gone from warm to cold. I thought I might be finished now. I stand there with my sleeves rolled up. I don't know what to do with them. [Female: deep growl] DO THE PAN. THEN WIPE THE SIDES. THE CLOTH IS RIGHT BESIDE YOU. [Pre-Chorus: soft male] There's nothing in the sink now. I leave the water running. [Female: demonic growl] TURN THAT OFF. TAKE THE BINS OUT. [Chorus: soft male] Leave me the evening. Leave me that much. I've given you the daylight. Isn't that enough? [Female: demonic growl] YOU STILL NEED TO STUDY. [Male: soft, sustained] Leave me the evening. There's so little left. [Female: demonic growl] YOU'RE NOT FINISHED YET. [Bridge: exposed male] I read the same line seven times. It disappears when I look up. Monday feels so far away. Tonight is all I'm thinking of. [Female: low growl] THE TEST IS MONDAY. CLOSE THE BOOK. TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE JUST RED. [Male: barely above a whisper] I knew it when I was alone. [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus: soft male] Leave me the evening. Leave me that much. I gave you all the daylight. Now the evening's gone. [Female: demonic growl] PUT YOUR CLOTHES AWAY. [Male: soft, sustained] Leave me a moment. Let me have what's left. [Female: demonic growl] THOSE ARE CLEAN. DON'T PUT THEM IN THE WASH. [Outro: exposed male] It's done. Can I go now? [Female: deep growl] YES. TAKE A COAT. TAKE A COAT. TAKE A COAT. [Male: barely audible] All right, Mum.
