 ||x19
 
 Another suburban  family morning
 Grandmother screaming  at  the wall
 We have to shout  above the din  of our Rice Crispies
 We can't hear anything  at  all
Mother  chants her litany  of boredom  and frustration
 But we  know all her suicides  are fake
Daddy  only stares into the distance
 There's only so much more that he can take
Many  miles away
 Something crawls  from the slime
 At the bottom  of a dark  Scottish lake
 Another industrial ugly morning
 The factory belches filth into the sky
 He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
 He doesn't think to wonder why
 The secretaries pout and preen like
 cheap tarts in a red light street
 But all he ever thinks to do is watch
 And every single meeting with his so-called superior
 Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
 Many miles away
 Something crawls to the surface
 Of a dark Scottish lake
 ||  x15
 
 Another working day has ended
 Only the rush hour hell to face
 Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
 Contestants in a suicidal race
 Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
 He knows that something somewhere has to break
 He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
 The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
 Many miles away
 There's a shadow on the door
 Of a cottage on the shore
 Of a dark Scottish lake
 Many miles away, many miles away

Many miles away, many miles away
