Lofty and Eastman are waiting,
if Herbert's in there could be news.
Lofty and Eastman are waiting together,
what else is there really to do?
Ten o 'clock now in the evening,
an hour past clocking in time.
Lofty and Eastman are working together
in a room at the end of the line
Telling each other their stories,
piece by piece sharing their lives
Lofty and Eastman are talking together,
the world hurries onwards outside
we'll come and bring with it you
We'll all be at least worth their
Chewing the fat just one man to another
and both wondering whether
Like an old part of the song
The Lofty and the Eastman are waiting,
The Lofty and the Eastman
what else is there really to do?
I've been locked now in the morning,
the grey light creeping through my eyes
couldn't wait here for a half
But you need don't listen to a rhyme
couldn't wait here for a half
But you need don't listen to a rhyme
