"Step Into My Office, Baby (Live)" lyrics - BELLE AND SEBASTIAN

She called me up today
"Meet me down at the old cafe"
I jumped into the shower
I was getting my marching orders

[Chorus:]
We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
Wanna give you the job
A chance of overtime
Say, my place at nine?

She'd never stand for any lies
She's got an Out Tray full of guys
I could sense a breath, a whole new feeling
Now she says she wants to call a meeting

[Chorus:]
We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
Wanna give you the job
A chance of overtime
Say, my place at nine?

[Bridge:]
I'm a slave to work
I'm only living when I walk amongst the office staff
Or catch up with the office wag
I'll be in bed by nine
My curtains drawn
My thoughts composed
I'll get to work on time

She gave me some dictation
But my strength is in administration
I took down all she said
I even took down her little red dress

[Chorus:]
We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
Wanna give you the job
I'm pushing for a raise
I've been pushing now for days

My output is in decline
I was burned out after Boris Johnson
My banner I laid down with a sigh
I can't think what rhymes with Johnson

I've got to change my ways
Dress for business every day
A sharp suit and a kipper tie
A big arrow pointing to my fly

[Chorus:]
We need to talk
Step into my office, baby
Wanna give you the job
A chance of overtime
Say, my place at nine?
