| Put your sweet fingers | |
| A little closer to the keyboard | |
| It's hard to read between your lines | |
| We were the clock hands at midnight | |
| Now you're four whole hours behind | |
| Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard | |
| I can't quite see the whites of your eyes | |
| Though you bat your eyelids from across the ocean | |
| And I fall over in their breeze | |
| I don't bring you spices from the | |
| East I don't bring you the world's you crave ' | |
| Cos everyday you need a new one | |
| Just like | |
| Mr Benn, just like | |
| Mr Benn Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard | |
| We pass light bits in the night | |
| Though you send your flare to the horizon | |
| I just stare and blink in your light | |
| I don't speak in all your tongues | |
| So I don't even know if | |
| I'll be welcome | |
| But what if | |
| I appeared as if by magic? | |
| Just like in | |
| Mr Benn So go if you're going | |
| You keep pouring when | |
| I say when | |
| Come home when your | |
| Work there is done | |
| Just like | |
| Mr Benn Put your sweet fingers | |
| A little closer to the keyboard | |
| It's hard to read between your lines | |
| We were the clock hands at midnight |
