Bending Albert's Law

The washing machine needs fixin here
Its early dark this time of year
Its small and cold, Im hiding in here
Behind orange drapes and wafer walls
I made a mess to make it feel like home
All the stuff I packed cant fill this hole
Ill conjure you up, youll appear
Its ridiculous that youre not here
Ill bend Alberts law slightly
Ill say the magic word and youre beside me
Out on Crouch End hill, people passing through
I tried your phone and I bought dry shoes
The squelch of rubber soles on wet tar
Theres too many steps from where you are
Ill conjure you up, youll appear
Its ridiculous that youre not here
Ill bend Alberts law slightly
Ill say the magic word and youre beside me
Ill conjure you up, youll appear
Its ridiculous that youre not here
Ill bend Alberts law slightly
Ill say the magic word til youre beside me
