Closed for Business (Top of the Pops TV performance) Songtext
von Mansun

Roll on up and queue in line
All you need is here
Absurdity in what you see
Can′t match the state you're in

All things are flawed to me
Stick with the things that you know
Buy what you want from me
Hope was the one thing I sold

Say what you can′t say, I'll never know
Don't wanna know, what you really sold
Say what you can′t say, I′ll never know
Don't wanna know, what you really sold
It′s been a bad day
Closed for business, I'm going home


Tasteless gas that comes in cans
Why should I be stoned
For selling things to heal your sins
And make your sorrows go

All things are flawed to me
Stick with the rules that you know
Buy what you want from me
Hope was the one thing I sold

Say what you can′t say, I'll never know
Don′t wanna know, what you really sold
Say what you can't say, I'll never know
Don′t wanna know, what you really sold

Say what you can′t say, what you really sold
Say what you can't say, what you really sold
Say what you can′t say, what you really sold
Say what you can't say, what you really sold

It′s been a bad day
Closed for business, I'm going home
