lyrics

Forty years have come and gone. He’s been there man and boy and now he’ll leave without a fuss to catch that evening omnibus. Seems like two blinks of an eye since he first stepped inside, in a suit he borrowed from his chum, with sandwiches made by his dear old mum. But now he’s obsolete, he’s done his time at last. This is his final day; he’s passing from the present to the past.
You see … Mr McIntosh has left the building, he won’t be returning anytime soon. He’s spent and used, the final piece of paperwork is filled in and he won’t be returning anytime soon.

So he shakes another hand, forces a smile and soon he’ll fade away, become a distant memory in a while.
You see … Mr McIntosh has left the building, he won’t be returning anytime soon. He’s spent and used, the final piece of paperwork is filled in and he won’t be returning anytime soon.

All the stories he could tell, they could fill a book. But one thing that is guaranteed: no-one else would want to read it. Seems like two blinks of an eye since he first stepped inside. He wonders how it all stacks up; did all his work really add up to much?
All those years ago, he’d never stopped to think that this day would arrive; the moment that he would become extinct.

You see … Mr McIntosh has left the building, the world will still be turning whatever we do. His day has come and all he feels is numb; it was a living but he won’t be returning anytime soon.
You see … Mr McIntosh has left the building, he won’t be returning anytime soon. He’s spent and used, the final piece of paperwork is filled in and he won’t be returning anytime soon.

The Eisenhowers Glasgow, UK

The music of The Eisenhowers presents an eclectic mix, inspired by the likes of Elvis Costello, David Bowie, The Kinks and Steely Dan. Following 2021's critically-acclaimed 'Judge a man by the company he keeps', the new album. 'Nudge Unit Blues', represents something of a departure, featuring, as it does, a somewhat dystopian take on recent events. It's still about the tunes, though! ... more
