Van der Graaf Generator — All That Before

I don't know if I'm cracking up or just getting careless, is this room quite airless? Just a minute, listen, did you hear that knock on the door? I'm going to have to write things down before I forget them I can't find my glasses, I don't know where I left them So I can't expect to get much on the visionary score, or did I say all that before? Oh, stop me if you've heard this one before I get started I can't find my mobile and I didn't charge it, it's a phantom target If I call myself I'll only get my voicemail once more I wish that I could pin things down before they escape me I can't find my car keys and it seems that lately I have trouble even fitting them into the front door, or did I say all that before? Oh, stop me if I'm banging on, trying to grab your attention I forget to mention I can't find my glasses But I think I bent them when I dropped them as I scrabbled for my phone on the floor It seems I can't, I can't remember, I can't remember what I'm doing Although I flash that foolish grin that seemed so winning when I came in I'm beginning to see everything we've been is going to be forgotten It's not a joke, or did I say that all before I spoke? It's not a joke, or did I say all that before I spoke? I can't find myself, what I'm looking for, and I've lost the thread of what I said before
