Not Home Today Lyrics - Absolutely - Madness

She says he's gone away on a short holiday 

He won`t be back for awhile 

The twleve from the bench stood up 

And hesitated he`ll be leaving 

Right after this trial 

Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence 

He wished he could go back again 

A flick of the wrist 

He wished that he missed 

Not guilty is all he can say 

Pass `round the gossip now 

Let`s wait and see 

Pass `round the tray now 

Let`s have some tea 

My boys haven`t seen him 

He`s been working away 

Don`t bother asking 

He`s not home today 

Not home today 

T-shirts and badges 

With free tickles and smudges 

In the end you`ll believe what you feel 

When ten hands are aiming 

And no-one is complaining 

In a sense it could be more real
