lyrics

The pleasure is mine
I speak for myself
I take on the town from time to time

I dress to the nines
I leave work on time
I share every thought that’s on my mind

I’m on the attack
I’m putting them back
and questioning your measure of the man

I’m off and I’m on
I’m black and I’m white
I live in a thousand shades of grey

and maybe I will
I think that I might
just spit on the floor what they might say

I’m acting surprised
I’ve been plagiarised
by the second thoughts that play on my mind
play on my mind

The pleasure is mine
The pleasure is mine
So I keep on marking time just right

I’m moving in lines, you tell me to;
making sense of ‘the French defence’ tonight

The pleasure is mine, so I keep on marking time

I’m blinded by light
I swing to the right
I’m Colouring in between these lines

I’m lost on the dial
I fell out of style
I’m hanging on every exit sign

A film to fulfil
I’m shooting to kill
the doubts in the back of your mind
in the back of my mind

The pleasure is mine
The pleasure is mine
So I keep on Marking time just right

to Stay anodyne
to keep me from tying down the party line tonight

The pleasure is mine, so I keep on marking time

Into the unknown
I’ll go it alone
I run at the shadows on your wall

It’s twenty below
I’m letting you go
To the corner side, just to let you know
what’s at the dark end of the road

I’m biding time
I’m staying in line
Not trying to mark my cards tonight

Taking my time
Taking what’s mine cos the word is this pleasures all mine
the pleasures all mine

The water is fine
No crossing the line
So I keep on Marking the time
marking the time

The weather is fine
I made up my mind to go
marking time tonight
marking time tonight

The pleasure is mine
The pleasure is mine
So I just go marking time
