Dr Buck's Letter Lyrics - The Unutterable - Fall

I lost my temper with a friend 

Mocked him and treated him with rudeness 

And though I tried to make amends 

Still I miss him I walk a dark corridor 

Woke up one morning 

Doctor Buck's letter 

Of my own making, I walk a dark corridor Oh my heart 

Hoping one day a door will be ajar 

At least so we can recompense 

The betrayal of our hard won friendship 

In vulgar and arrogant abeyance 

To what was untrue underneath our parlance 

I open the envelope, Doctor Buck's letter 

Re: Welfare Benefits reports 

J. McCarthy, approximately 10-15 days 

I got down, I was depressed. 

It was Doctor Buck's letter. 

Turn the radio on 

Doctor Buck's Letter 

Cheer myself up 

Put the radio on, get the magazine out 

And read about the 'Essence of Tong' 

Checklist: 

I never leave home without: 

1 Sunglasses: I wear them all year around, I seem to need them more often, it's a habit 

2 Music: cassettes CDs 

3 Palm Pilot: it's my lifeline I think it's my P.A.'s computer, she rules my diary and I download it 

4 Mobile phone 

5 Amex card; They made such a fuss about giving it to me that I spent more time getting it turned down. 

I was in the realm of the essence of Tong.
