%8x5 (Live)

She sits by the window

I sit by the aisle

The hostess pours the drinks

With a practiced smile

We talk about sunshine

As we touch down

Now we are the foreigners

And you’re not around

Divide by eight, multiply by five

Divide by eight, multiply by five

Counting kilometres

Trying to translate

Is this what I wanted?

This twist of fate

Watching people take pictures

With expensive cameras

Through dirty windows

Of foreign cars

Divide by eight, multiply by five

Divide by eight, multiply by five

Divide by eight, multiply by five

Divide by eight, multiply by five

Playing with a calculator

I’m counting the cost

I feel so cheated

At every border cross

I’ll send you a postcard

I wish you were here

You think that I’m joking

I’ve never been more sincere

Divide by eight, multiply by five
