Why I Went Missing - The Style Council

I don’t know why, I went missing

It could have been the call of night

It could have been a change of mind

I don’t know why, I went missing

And though lost I found myself

Where I had been all the time

When the clock chimes I shall be gone

But judge not the action but what went wrong

I’m no saint but I’m no sinner

That’s one of the reasons why, I went missing

Took me off to somewhere nice

A night at half bored in paradise

There’s plenty more I could have kissed

And those who wanted it — I could of resist

But I blamed myself for this out of town kissing

I made up an excuse of why I went missing

But truth as in fiction is sometimes strained

And love and contradiction have a part to play

I once blamed myself now I blame you

Why I went missing is a fictional truth
