New Boy Lyrics - Subhumans

In the lounge of class distinction 

Rank and number neatly sprawled 

In the luxury of income 

Sat the new boy feeling cold 

Sat there thinking "Where's the toilet?" 

Dropped his cigarettes and coughed 

Waiting for a chance to pick them up - 

That's when the lights went off 

Sat there thinking it was funny 

Fears subsiding with the lighting 

"Turned the lights on" someone shouted 

Found himself alone and smiling 

Shattered by his own deception 

He looked round for helpful clues 

Men in suits and glaring glasses 

Calmly watched him look confused 

Carpet silence stifled whispers 

When did something mean so much? 

Just the emptiness of silence 

Just the feelings, not the touch 

Nervous words of introduction 

To the instant silent stares 

Felt as if he wasn't wanted 

And finally he wasn't there 

Then he wished that he was back 

To somehow make the silence crack 

Concluded, like we all have done 

Some people make you feel no-one
