Anxious Lyrics

    I was walking by the river, I was asking myself questions
    But the answers I came up with didn't fit
    Some have breakfast in bed some aren't properly fed
    The way they talk about it makes me want to spit
    And they're raising all their eyebrows at the raising of the pound
    Whilst they raise another city to the ground
    And we're opening the doors and walking 'round on all fours
    Looking for a sense in lost and found

    Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
    Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

    I really thought I'd have my tongue ties if I stood up to shout
    But all they did was listen without their ears
    And I thought I'd be beheaded if I stuck my neck out
    But they just gave me a hanky for my tears

    I have confidence in confidence, I hope that hope pulls me through
    But I think a little more is needed now
    We've got to form a congregation and sink down the nation
    Batter all the sinners to the ground

    Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
    Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious

    [A middle bit of some repute]

    Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
    Anxious, Don't they know it is wrong, it makes me anxious
