I've been doing a power of thinking   The Good Ship Lollipop is sinking   But I've been having such a good time   Just watching from the shoreline   Call waiting on the telephone   Only problem being the phone is off the hook   And besides, there's no-one home      All except in the backrooom   I'm operating in a vacuum   I'm going back to the backroom   I'm operating in a vacuum      Revolution on the South Bank   I poured poison in the think tank   Got out before the big crash   Caught the tail end of the whiplash   Reminiscing with the diehards   Uptight with the old guard   Saying out of the spotlight   Don't get blinded by the spotlight      I'm going back to the backroom   I'm operating in a vacuum   I'm going back to the backroom   I'm operating in a vacuum      On the Good Ship Lollipop   It's a nice trip to the candy shop   But the key to your success   Was the key to your excess   Was the key to your success   Was the key to your excess   Going back to the backroom   I'm operating in a vacuum
