The time has come
Not to be cautious
You must be careful no to make mistakes
For every heart flower
In twenty four
An operation froze
Faster than they did yesterday
And the landing right on your side
They won't be much of a problem
Then passed smith
There is a rise
When everybodies asleep at home
He becomes nervous
And sees a change
Today in future
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Watch the markets move from the screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Re tomorrow's cash today
And check your pulse
Waste metals crawling to the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer term
Sugars melted in the mouth
Of a broken home
If we knew a better option
She sleeps for while
And it could be long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers and looks again
Today futures
Oh la la oh la la oh la la oh la la
Today futures
Futures futures futures [repeat the fade]
Not to be cautious
You must be careful no to make mistakes
For every heart flower
In twenty four
An operation froze
Faster than they did yesterday
And the landing right on your side
They won't be much of a problem
Then passed smith
There is a rise
When everybodies asleep at home
He becomes nervous
And sees a change
Today in future
Oh la la oh la la oh la la
Watch the markets move from the screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Re tomorrow's cash today
And check your pulse
Waste metals crawling to the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer term
Sugars melted in the mouth
Of a broken home
If we knew a better option
She sleeps for while
And it could be long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers and looks again
Today futures
Oh la la oh la la oh la la oh la la
Today futures
Futures futures futures [repeat the fade]

My favourite B-side for now...
The time has come not to be cautious
You must be careful no to make mistakes
For every half hour in twenty four -
And operations froze faster than they did yesterday
And the landing rate's on your side so there won't be much of a problem
Then past midnight there is a rise
When everybody's asleep at home
He becomes nervous and sees a change
Today in futures
Watch the markets move from the screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Read tomorrow's crash today and check your pulse
Base metals crawling to the kerb
And softs dropped in their summer term
Sugar melted in the mouth of a rudegirl
Who knew a better option
She thinks for while and it could be long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers, and looks again
Today in futures

I think it's about a stockbroker who's watching a financial disaster about to happen on his computer and can't do anything about it.
sort of sounds like another "character" song... a business man?
i love the line "...and it could be a long time before he thinks again"
