lyrics
In a Yorkshire call centre I knelt down and wept
On the endless night shifts that I’d tried to accept
After days in a pub when I really should have slept
Regretting my youth and the company I’d kept
In a Yorkshire call centre I swung on my chair
I was talking to people who weren’t really there
There were tears in my eyes, desperate despair
Avoiding the truths that I could hardly bare
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
Their slogans on the wall
There were slogans on the wall
In a Yorkshire call centre I was stabbed in the back
She was a friend it was a surprise attack
Torn apart for all the things that I lack
But after ten times it had lost its impact
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All the slogans on the wall
There were slogans on the wall
Slogans on the wall
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
In a Yorkshire call centre I was dismissed
There were targets and I was bottom of the list
They were quite civil but I got the gist
You don’t belong here
You won’t be missed
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
Yeah I, I was struggling to make sense of it all
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
I, I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
They had were slogans on the wall
On the endless night shifts that I’d tried to accept
After days in a pub when I really should have slept
Regretting my youth and the company I’d kept
In a Yorkshire call centre I swung on my chair
I was talking to people who weren’t really there
There were tears in my eyes, desperate despair
Avoiding the truths that I could hardly bare
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
Their slogans on the wall
There were slogans on the wall
In a Yorkshire call centre I was stabbed in the back
She was a friend it was a surprise attack
Torn apart for all the things that I lack
But after ten times it had lost its impact
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All the slogans on the wall
There were slogans on the wall
Slogans on the wall
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
In a Yorkshire call centre I was dismissed
There were targets and I was bottom of the list
They were quite civil but I got the gist
You don’t belong here
You won’t be missed
And I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
Yeah I, I was struggling to make sense of it all
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
I, I was struggling to make sense of it all
All their slogans on the wall
The slogans on the wall
They had were slogans on the wall

Swan Songs
by Post War Glamour Girlssupported by 5 fans who also own “In a Yorkshire Call Centre I Knelt Down and Wept”
Honestly it's so hard picking one favourite off this album, every song is as good as the last, and the flow to it is perfect. Organ Donor is going to have to be it though, because I heard it back before this album was released, live, and spent ages trying to find it. Absolute belter!
