The View From The Afternoon (Live)
[Verse 1]
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment, but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah
Regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I wanna see you face the jack—
And of course it's fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns and oh

[Verse 2]
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment, but
Tonight therе'll be some love
Tonight thеre'll be a ruckus, yeah
Regardless of what's gone before
I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I wanna see you face the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it
You can never beat the bandit, no

[Chorus]
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
And you should bear that in mind tonight (Bear that in mind)
Yeah, you should bear that in mind tonight (Bear that in mind)
[Post-Chorus]
And you can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Owt you send her after nine o' clock, come on

[Verse 3]
Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment, but
Tonight there'll be some love, ah
Tonight there'll be a ruckus, yeah
Regardless of what's gone before

[Chorus]
And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
And you should bear that in mind tonight (Bear that in mind)
Yeah, you should bear that in mind tonight (Bear that in mind)

[Post-Chorus]
And you can pour your heart out around three o' clock
When the two-for-one's undone the writer's block, woah

[Spoken Outro]
Thanks very much for having us, everybody
And thank you for supporting War Child
I've got just one more question for you
