Human League's, "Tell Me When"
Misheard Lyrics:
Curly took a lifetime searching for the facts of life
(Later)
Any waste of effort is a part of my desire
OR
Any waste of effort is a part of my design
Billy was an inspiration, positive and kind
Until he let confusion overcome his useful mind

Any waste of effort is a part of my desire
OR
Any waste of effort is a part of my design
Billy was an inspiration, positive and kind
Until he let confusion overcome his useful mind

Kelly took a lifetime searching for the bottom line
(Later)
Any waste of effort isn't part of my design
Billy was an inspiration, positive and kind
Until he let confusion overcome his youthful mind

Billy was an inspiration, positive and kind
Until he let confusion overcome his youthful mind
