Oh, language is dead
So she believes
I'm looking up
Socially bereaved
Just like Carlisle
She lies on the border
Disorder surrounds
Her every noun

One night in October!

The clocks go back and she attacks me, Oh
Grabbing my left shoulder
Suspects in texts that leave her wrecked, Uh Oh
One night in October!

So I sit her down
And say this must stop
Cos all we do Is argue then shop
She goes to Boots
I go to Argos
Complete with deceit
We stalk each aisle

One night in October!

She throws a towel, the sink, a scowl, Uh Oh
One night in October!

With more invective than the average detective
Questions me on the lawn
With doors ajar, tonight I will sleep in my car
One night in October!

Oh, intensive care
Intensively she's aware
That I, I miss the heat
Solace and sway of the sheets
Oh, dashboard's so hard
Can't cushion the beats of my heart

One night in October! Uh Oh
One night in October!
The clocks go back and she attacks me, Oh
Grabbing my left shoulder
With more invective than the average detective
Questions me on the lawn
With doors ajar, tonight I will sleep in my car
One night in October!
