Annotation of Lyrics.

I've waited hours for this clock going round and “Robert” going mad.

I've made myself so sick – image of us being sick after a heavy night, we are late for top of the pops so we are rushing to get there

I wish I'd stayed asleep today – getting ready and thinking about going back to sleep this shows that we have had a long day and would like to go back to sleep

I never thought this day would end – last nights day, rushing around trashing the room to get ready.

I never thought tonight could ever be – never thought that top of the pops would happen, (first gig)

This close to me – and a close up of the penguin with close to me written on its stomach.

Just try to see in the dark – feeling around to find something in the dark, claustrophobic

Just try to make it work – trying to make the bank work, us fighting as we cannot find our stuff.

To feel the fear before you're here – don’t want to lose the band but keep fighting, still getting ready for top of the pops

I make the shapes come much too close – images of shapes floating about or the fish tank?

I pull my eyes out – getting angry

Hold my breath – all stop so it give the video a bit of drama.

And wait until I shake.... getting ready to go out, crowd outside as we get ready to go to top of the pops

But if I had your faith – running backwards and forwards to the taxi

Then I could make it safe and clean – ||

If only I was sure ||

That my head on the door was a dream- arrive at the BBC and get ready for the show, make up touch up and blah blah blah

I've waited hours for this – running through dark corridors, looking for lights and crowds, as crowds get closer shots back to the band and the crowds, shows tension.

I've made myself so sick ||

I wish I'd stayed asleep today ||

I never thought this day would end ||

I never thought tonight could ever be

This close to me.

But if I had your face

I could make it safe and clean

If only I was sure

That my head on the door – looking through the door to see a bright lights and the top of the pops

Was a dream? - Was it all a dream, instrumental? Was it a dream or was it real?
