Back To The Backroom

Collins Edwin


I've been doing a power of thinking 
The Good Ship Lollipop is sinking 
But I've been having such a good time 
Just watching from the shoreline 
Call waiting on the telephone 
Only problem being the phone is off the hook
And besides there's no-one home 

All except in the backrooom 
I'm operating in a vacuum 
I'm going back to the backroom 
I'm operating in a vacuum 

Revolution on the South Bank 
I poured poison in the think tank 
Got out before the big crash 
Caught the tail end of the whiplash 
Reminiscing with the diehards 
Uptight with the old guard 
Saying out of the spotlight 
Don't get blinded by the spotlight 

I'm going back to the backroom 
I'm operating in a vacuum 
I'm going back to the backroom 
I'm operating in a vacuum 

On the Good Ship Lollipop 
It's a nice trip to the candy shop 
But the key to your success 
Was the key to your excess 
Was the key to your success 
Was the key to your excess 
Going back to the backroom 
I'm operating in a vacuum
