Threadneedle Street Lyrics

Cover art for Threadneedle Street lyrics by Blur

again this has been incorrectly copied from the japanese CD booklet... it should be:

The time has come not to be cautious You must be careful no to make mistakes For every half hour in twenty four -

And operations froze faster than they did yesterday And the landing rate's on your side so there won't be much of a problem

Then past midnight there is a rise When everybody's asleep at home He becomes nervous and sees a change Today in futures

Watch the markets move from the screen In a pocket in a grey flannel suit Read tomorrow's crash today and check your pulse

Base metals crawling to the kerb And softs dropped in their summer term Sugar melted in the mouth of a rudegirl Who knew a better option

She thinks for while and it could be long time before he thinks again And then he looks at the papers, and looks again Today in futures

I think it's about a stockbroker who's watching a financial disaster about to happen on his computer and can't do anything about it.
