Just Like Mr Benn Lyrics - Bell X1

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
