Dedicated to all those who passed through the doors of a certain warehouse in Coventry.
lyrics
Everywhere I look, I see your ghosts
In the corridor, on the mezzanine
By the heater's grill in the locker room
Squatting on the floor with your keys and phone
Everywhere I look, I see your ghosts
In the work canteen, at 1:15
In your 306 at 3 to 6
With your tired eyes and yellow hair
Every minute of every day
There's a thousand reminders of who's gone away
As each one left
Sorrow came up until my eyes grew red
It was embarrassing and so I said
It was the pollen count
The pollen count instead
Everywhere I look, I see your ghosts
Airing out your tongue, screwing up your nose
Throwing out your back, moaning that it hurts
Asking what I mean when I use long words
Everywhere I look, I see your ghosts
Leaning on my chair, giving me abuse
Getting on my nerves, making me react
Flashing me a smile when I'd lose my rag
You liked me when I was brave
But I'm always a coward when I have to get paid
From rail to road
Employee number to batch error code
This knowledge that I was the only thread
Was more than I could ever bear
As each one left
Sorrow came up until my eyes grew red
It was embarrassing and so I said
It was the pollen count
The pollen count instead
Everywhere I look, I see your ghosts
I see your ghosts
See your ghosts
