9:24pm. 26th November 2033

Shanti has gone catatonic. Ravi contemplates seizing the moment to initiate sex for the first time.

lyrics

I was thinking of something, something
Something beautiful, something of value
But you rolled over and you made that familiar sound
And I knew I had to put the kettle on

How I wish I was
But I'm glad I'm not
How I wish I was...
Alone

I was reading something, something
Something meaningful, something true
But you came over with your coffee and your morning face
And I sniggered and said something crude

'Cos thinking of you makes me think of the years
I've wasted on the battle to unsettle your confidence, and
How I've found myself so comfortable just
Going through the motions on another
Sunday Afternoon

Do you wanna?
I know you don't wanna
I can tell by the way that you've positioned yourself
So turn the TV on, let's laugh at televangelists
Just don't stop me when i reach for your
.…reach for your…

For a minute, when my hand gets inside your shirt
I think I'm winning, 'cos there's no resistance at first
But then I realize there is no prize
'Cos I can't get it up without the routine
Story of my life, undone by conditioning

And oh
We're still not old
But inertia binds our bones together
And we know…(now)….
(That) all wars are hollow
'Cos every day is Sunday

On the Devil's Plateau

He'll make you feel at home….
