Frank Verbrugghe, this is the only version of the single. Another post has the song burned off of a cheap record player incorrectly playing the song at a faster speed. Here's the lyrics. Check Out Time... 11AM Nightly rates are posted on the door but they're inflated so you think that you are special for the rates you really pay Hope there's some deduction for the sadness that's contained inside the room that we're vacating now the gloom is on display We gotta pack - 10:45 Not much to pack - Not much alive Check out time, 11AM The end of our affair People say forever and they think they really mean it but in fact they just demean it by just saying it, that's all People stay together for a hundred million reasons but it only takes one reason to feel very, very small front desk has phoned - two cars out front the mini-bar - take what you want Check out time, 11AM The end of our affair The end of our affair The end of our affair You were so lovely when we first met you gave advice on which horse to bet I felt so lucky I felt so charmed When I would hold you I felt disarmed It's time to stop - don't reminisce It's time to stop - paralysis Check out time, 11AM tara -da da The end of our affair
Many thanks for your reply and this version is much nicer than the quicker version!!! From a Belgian Sparks fan since 1974 and so lucky to see them 3 times this year (France, Belgium and the Nedtherlands)
Magnifique ❤❤❤❤
That’s London, some places 10.30am, way to early especially if you’ve been at a Sparks concert the previous night ☘️🇮🇪
This song is fantastic. I love the halting aspect of the initial rhythm.
Genius
Incredible...

Check Out Time... 11AM
Nightly rates are posted on the door
but they're inflated so you think that
you are special for the rates you really pay
Hope there's some deduction for the
sadness that's contained inside
the room that we're vacating
now the gloom is on display
We gotta pack - 10:45
Not much to pack - Not much alive
Check out time, 11AM
The end of our affair
People say forever
and they think they really mean it
but in fact they just demean it
by just saying it, that's all
People stay together
for a hundred million reasons
but it only takes one reason
to feel very, very small
front desk has phoned -
two cars out front
the mini-bar -
take what you want
Check out time, 11AM
The end of our affair
The end of our affair
The end of our affair
You were so lovely
when we first met
you gave advice on
which horse to bet
I felt so lucky
I felt so charmed
When I would hold you
I felt disarmed
It's time to stop - don't reminisce
It's time to stop - paralysis
Check out time, 11AM
tara -da da
The end of our affair

Frank Verbrugghe, thanks again 😁😁😁
This is great! 🤩🤩
Man, i hope this is part of an upcoming album. HIPPOPOTAMUS was so damn great that i had a feeling it might be their last. But hopefully i was wrong.
There's no reason to think Hippo is their last album. This song is an outtake though of the Hippo sessions, not an upcoming album. Great track.
Yeah i was just wondering. Hippo was so great that i thought it might be their final send off. Double vinyl and all. Beautiful.
They have another album already recorded. It'll be a soundtrack to a movie starring Adam Driver

You guys already know, but anyway the album 'A Steady Drip Drip Drip' was out in May (digitally) and July (physically) 2020. AWESOME. 🤩💖💖💖💖💖
Is this an extended (slower) version of the single and are there lyrics available? Very nice video!!!
Frank, see my reply above. Thanks for your comment on the video !
Thanks!
