+ | ==== A Day On The Town ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Summer in London, watery sunshine, | ||
+ | A place in the city where I can go sometimes. | ||
+ | To get on a red bus and go anywhere, | ||
+ | See all the sights and not pay the fare, | ||
+ | Summer in London. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chip on your shoulder, chips in your mouth, | ||
+ | Can you see the old lady, with tickets to tout. | ||
+ | Getting the tourists into their traps, | ||
+ | Taking their money, the shirts off their backs, | ||
+ | Summer in London. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get in a taxi and go anywhere, | ||
+ | Jump out at the park and not pay the fare. | ||
+ | Watch Speakers Corner, listen to their talk, | ||
+ | Eating their ice creams, going for a walk. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Summer in London, the weather man said, | ||
+ | Waking up late, got to get out of bed. | ||
+ | So much to do, got to go everywhere | ||
+ | A day on the town and not pay the fare. | ||
+ | Riots in London. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Baggy Trousers ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Naughty boys in nasty schools | ||
+ | Headmasters breaking all the rules | ||
+ | Having fun and playing fools | ||
+ | Smashing up the woodwork tools | ||
+ | All the teachers in the pub | ||
+ | Passing 'round the ready-rub | ||
+ | Trying not to think of when | ||
+ | The lunch-time bell will ring again. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Oh what fun we had | ||
+ | But, did it really turn out bad | ||
+ | All I learnt at school | ||
+ | Was how to bend not break the rules | ||
+ | Oh what fun we had | ||
+ | But at the time it seemed so bad | ||
+ | Trying different ways | ||
+ | To make a difference to the days. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Headmaster' | ||
+ | All the kids have gone away | ||
+ | Gone to fight with next-door' | ||
+ | Every term, that is the rule | ||
+ | Sits alone and bends his cane | ||
+ | Same old backsides again | ||
+ | All the small ones tell tall tales | ||
+ | Walking home and squashing snails. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Oh what fun we had | ||
+ | But, did it really turn out bad | ||
+ | All I learnt at school | ||
+ | Was how to bend not break the rules | ||
+ | Oh what fun we had | ||
+ | But at the time it seemed so bad | ||
+ | Trying different ways | ||
+ | To make a difference to the days. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lots of girls and lots of boys | ||
+ | Lots of smells and lots of noise | ||
+ | Playing football in the park | ||
+ | Kicking Pushbikes after dark | ||
+ | Baggy trousers, dirty shirt | ||
+ | Pulling hair and eating dirt | ||
+ | Teacher comes to break it up | ||
+ | Back of the 'ead with a plastic cup. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Oh what fun we had | ||
+ | But, did it really turn out bad | ||
+ | All I learnt at school | ||

+ | ==== Bed And Breakfast Man ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well there' | ||
+ | At least I used to years ago | ||
+ | I didn't really mind | ||
+ | He used to come 'round all the time | ||
+ | |||
+ | Of course he had to be fed | ||
+ | I had to give him a bed | ||
+ | He used to kip on my sofa | ||
+ | They used to call him a loafer | ||
+ | |||
+ | I've heard he's changed | ||
+ | A lot since then | ||
+ | But some of his ways | ||
+ | He just can't mend | ||
+ | |||
+ | Told the other day | ||
+ | That he'd offered to pay | ||
+ | He didn't like his dad | ||
+ | He earned all he ever had | ||
+ | |||
+ | He didn't have no shame | ||
+ | He was a master at his game | ||
+ | He never showed his hand | ||
+ | He was the bed and breakfast man | ||
+ | |||
+ | He was, he was the bed and breakfast man... | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Are You Coming (With Me) ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Could it be someone' | ||
+ | Or could it be that I'm getting wise | ||
+ | Awoke myself from a nose-dive glide | ||
+ | I caught myself but you've lost all pride | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm not going with you | ||
+ | Won't you come on with me ? | ||
+ | |||
+ | See your world in a drift fly past | ||
+ | So good the feeling you want to last | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm not going with you | ||
+ | Would you come on with me ? | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm not here to watch day and night | ||
+ | Or to hear you drift out of life | ||
+ | |||
+ | If I could wake you | ||
+ | A moment I would | ||
+ | Share you my lifeline | ||
+ | Feed you some good | ||
+ | If I could wake you | ||
+ | A moment I would | ||
+ | Share you my lifeline | ||
+ | Feed you some (good) | ||

+ | But you not for me | ||
+ | |||
+ | When everyone' | ||
+ | I know where you'll be | ||
+ | |||
+ | If I should listen to your proposal | ||
+ | Put my future at your disposal | ||
+ | |||
+ | Promise me you'll keep yourself clean | ||
+ | Cut yourself from your mid-day dream. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If I could wake you | ||
+ | A moment I would | ||
+ | Share you my lifeline | ||
+ | Feed you some good | ||
+ | If I could wake you | ||

+ | |||
+ | Ten more minutes till he gets there | ||

+ | It's been so hard these days | ||
+ | Not nearly so much fun. | ||
+ | His mind wanders to the office | ||
+ | His telephone, desk and chair | ||

+ | It's just his luck oh damn! | ||
+ | His hand dives in his pocket | ||
+ | For his handkerchief. | ||
+ | Pearls of sweat on his collar | ||
+ | His pulse-beat seems so brief. | ||
+ | Eyes fall on his wristwatch | ||
+ | The seconds pass real slow | ||
+ | Gasping for the hot air | ||
+ | But the chest pain it won't go. | ||
+ | Tried to ask for help | ||
+ | But can't seem to speak a word, | ||
+ | Words are whispered frantically | ||
+ | But don't seem to be heard. | ||
+ | What about the wife and kids? | ||
+ | They all depend on me! | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | It's been sometime since the smile | ||
+ | Upon my face | ||
+ | Had a sneak preview in town | ||
+ | It's been a while since I gave chase | ||
+ | It's been sometime since the girl | ||
+ | From round my way | ||
+ | Came and took me by the hand | ||
+ | It's been a long time since I came around | ||
+ | |||
+ | I can remember when I | ||
+ | Stood on my head | ||
+ | And walking straight across the ground | ||
+ | I still picture the laughing faces | ||
+ | |||
+ | Catch me, I'm falling into my past | ||
+ | Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh | ||
+ | |||
+ | I was told to grow up soon | ||
+ | Face my consequences | ||
+ | Being told it was high time | ||
+ | High time to come to my senses | ||
+ | Climbing up to the top floor | ||
+ | Stood the look of pleasure | ||
+ | Such a silly aged man | ||
+ | With an attic full of treasure | ||
+ | |||
+ | Catch me, I'm falling into my past | ||
+ | Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh | ||
+ | |||
+ | I remember when I was ten | ||
+ | Things were somewhat better then | ||
+ | Time went by so easily | ||
+ | Is this the way life's supposed to be, but | ||
+ | Looking back I wonder why | ||
+ | It seems to pass so quickly by | ||
+ | Memories can make you cry | ||
+ | I close my eyes, my tears I try to hide | ||
+ | |||
+ | I was thinking about | ||
+ | Tammo land | ||
+ | Of all the funny places | ||
+ | I was thinking a short time ago | ||
+ | |||
+ | Catch me, I'm falling into my past | ||
+ | Deeper, the deeper the louder the laugh | ||

+ | Not enough time to explain | ||
+ | Eyes of many sighs of fear | ||
+ | |||
+ | Making space from Colney Hatch Lane | ||
+ | Just some poetry my friend | ||
+ | Scuttles past my window frame | ||
+ | Vanishes right round the bend | ||

+ | |||
+ | Staring out the window there' | ||
+ | All he wanted was to remain sane | ||

+ | |||
+ | New Delhi at three A.M. | ||
+ | Just arrived by K.L.M. | ||
+ | Left the airport in the heat | ||
+ | In the bus strange people meet | ||
+ | Driving through the starless night | ||
+ | Passing very unusual sights | ||
+ | |||
+ | Left the bus at five to five | ||
+ | Caught a taxi started to drive | ||
+ | He thought I was a millionaire | ||
+ | And accordingly put up the fare | ||
+ | Dawn was breaking in the east | ||
+ | Causing this hot night to cease | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mosquitos buzzing in my ears | ||
+ | Grating sound of clashing gears | ||
+ | Burning rubber filled the air | ||
+ | Taxi driver began to swear | ||
+ | The heat was burning my head was turning | ||
+ | It was then the car broke down | ||
+ | Just on the outskirts of town | ||
+ | |||
+ | A camel from the Dhrangadhra | ||
+ | Silently passed by our car | ||
+ | A vulture circled high above in the air | ||
+ | I had to shade my eyes to cover the glare | ||
+ | Sweating in the plastic seats | ||
+ | Hard to breathe in the increasing heat | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lying back my mind started to | ||
+ | Drift into an uneasy sleep | ||

+ | Been on the telephone for an hour | ||
+ | We hardly said a word | ||

+ | Oarsman grins a toothless smile | ||
+ | Only just one more | ||
+ | To this desolate shore | ||
+ | Last boat along the river Nile | ||
+ | Doesn' | ||
+ | No more wind in his hair | ||
+ | As he reaches his last half mile | ||
+ | The oar snaps in his hand | ||
+ | Before he reaches dry land | ||
+ | But the sound doesn' | ||
+ | Just pokes at wet sand | ||
+ | With an oar in his hand | ||
+ | Floats off down the river Nile (x2) | ||

+ | He won't be back for awhile | ||
+ | The twleve from the bench stood up | ||
+ | And hesitated he'll be leaving | ||
+ | right after this trial | ||
+ | |||
+ | Circumstance, | ||
+ | He wished he could go back again | ||
+ | A flick of the wrist | ||
+ | He wished that he missed | ||
+ | Not guilty is all he can say | ||
+ | |||

+ | a treasure locked in memory | ||
+ | Do drop a line, say hello dad | ||
+ | I await your answer, for I also beg | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please accept me | ||
+ | From a baby I have come | ||
+ | Pain, distress and heartache | ||
+ | I have now overcome | ||

+ | ==== Perfect Place ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recession - a perfect fit, | ||
+ | Makes no difference where he sits, | ||
+ | Not since they cut the ties, | ||
+ | Put some sadness in his eye. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Promises - come and go, | ||
+ | Soak the sun in drifts of snow, | ||
+ | A qualified butt-collector, | ||
+ | Working for the private sector. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He's seen them go, | ||
+ | Without a trace, | ||
+ | This could be it, | ||
+ | The perfect place. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They took the plans from up my sleeve, | ||
+ | By an architect, on New Years Eve, | ||
+ | There it goes, a new bronze tower, | ||
+ | Washed away with an April shower. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He's seen them go, | ||
+ | Without a trace, | ||
+ | This could be it, | ||
+ | The perfect place. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But, when you've gone, | ||
+ | I'm still here, the only one, | ||
+ | My eyes and my ears, | ||
+ | Will be here 'til I'm gone; | ||
+ | And it's still the perfect place, | ||
+ | To rest a tired and weary face, | ||
+ | And it's still the perfect place, | ||
+ | To lose your soul with a trace. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A lived-in face, with a root, | ||
+ | of matted hair, a smiling tooth, | ||
+ | A dirty hand, a pixies nose, | ||
+ | Scratches underneath his clothes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He's seen them go, | ||
+ | Without a trace, | ||
+ | This could be it, | ||
+ | The perfect place. | ||
+ | He's seen them go, | ||
+ | Without a trace, | ||
+ | This must be it ... | ||

+ | ==== Pac-a-mac ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I wear my cap with pride | ||
+ | When swaying side to side | ||
+ | Indoors where it be crude | ||
+ | Too late to find me shrewd. | ||
+ | I never lay in doubt | ||
+ | When walking from about | ||
+ | At home where it be warm | ||
+ | You're sound asleep unborn! | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm a small chap | ||
+ | Walk tall chap | ||
+ | When it rains | ||
+ | Cats and dogs | ||
+ | From my pocket I pick a pac-a-mac. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Inside a rubber wall yelling | ||
+ | Screams echo, off the ceiling. | ||
+ | My love could penetrate | ||
+ | So I'll leave you now prostrate. | ||
+ | My fag smoulders out and out | ||
+ | And odours waft there about | ||
+ | So I give my head a kip | ||
+ | My cap's worn to a split. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'm a small chap | ||
+ | Walk tall chap | ||
+ | When it rains | ||
+ | Cats and dogs | ||
+ | From my pocket I pick a pac-a-mac. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I wear my cap with pride | ||
+ | When swaying side to side | ||
+ | Indoors where I feel nude | ||
+ | Too late to find me shrewd. | ||

+ | At home where it be warm | ||
+ | You're sound asleep unborn! | ||
+ | |||

+ | Please Dont Go ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please don't go | ||
+ | |||
+ | I used to walk you home | ||

+ | |||
+ | I used to walk you home | ||
+ | Then walk back alone | ||
+ | As I remember | ||
+ | I just can't remember | ||
+ | |||
+ | I will admit that there were times | ||
+ | When I was rude and so unkind | ||
+ | But can't we kiss and make amends | ||
+ | Oh why oh why can't we be friends | ||
+ | |||
+ | When we were seen | ||
+ | It was like a dream | ||
+ | Always together | ||
+ | I thought forever | ||
+ | |||
+ | But now you seem | ||
+ | That it's time to end | ||
+ | But I say never | ||
+ | N-n-n-no never | ||
+ | |||
+ | But when we kissed and when we touched | ||
+ | It used to mean so very much | ||
+ | But now your cold and want to go | ||
+ | Before you do, I want you to know | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please don't go | ||

+ | ==== Primrose Hill ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A man opened his window and stared up Primrose Hill | ||
+ | Out there enjoying themselves I've seen them from this sill | ||
+ | Green splashed with white and red going brown | ||
+ | Children baiting animals running up and down | ||
+ | |||
+ | I stare out of this window | ||
+ | See the world go past | ||
+ | |||
+ | Slipping from the newspapers stacked against the wall | ||
+ | Piles of colour supplements squeeze between his fall | ||
+ | For a fleeting second I was up that hill | ||
+ | Although I've never been there I wish I was there still | ||
+ | |||
+ | I stare out of this window | ||
+ | See the world go past | ||
+ | I've read and looked at everything | ||
+ | I know it off by heart | ||
+ | |||
+ | Deliveries every day newspapers and food | ||
+ | Never had to venture out the phone has been removed | ||
+ | Open up the window and stare up Primrose Hill | ||
+ | Sitting here it's dark outside and everything is still | ||
+ | |||
+ | I stare out of this window | ||
+ | See the world go past | ||
+ | I've read and looked at everything | ||
+ | I know it off by heart | ||

+ | ==== Prospects ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A train ride to Tuesday | ||
+ | A platform far away | ||
+ | Scarlet shades of evening move clouds of grey | ||
+ | Awaking, arriving | ||
+ | The dirty station where | ||
+ | He passes crowds of people who don't see him there | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here's a desert island room | ||

+ | Sticks and stones, my old bones | ||
+ | Not like nineteen fifty-four | ||
+ | Then the liked me fine | ||
+ | But not anymore | ||
+ | |||

+ | ==== Rise and Fall ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These are the streets I used to walk | ||
+ | On summer nights, sit out and talk | ||
+ | That's the house where I used to live | ||
+ | I remember what I would give. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is the town I won't forget | ||
+ | And after anger there' | ||
+ | Walking now round and round | ||
+ | Familiar sights are open ground. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Being here again | ||
+ | I can recall | ||
+ | Forgotten moments | ||
+ | The rise and fall. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We used to live where children play | ||
+ | They leave their homes a mile away | ||
+ | To come and stand in trees and grass | ||
+ | Where we once walked the memories last. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Being here again | ||
+ | I can recall | ||
+ | Forgotten moments | ||
+ | The rise and fall. | ||

+ | Casey street in the afternoon | ||
+ | Once again it's over too soon. | ||

+ | ==== Samantha ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | One night in a cold sweat | ||
+ | I heard the call | ||
+ | So without fear and free from fright | ||
+ | I walked tall | ||
+ | As I crept the passages | ||
+ | Only just but faint | ||
+ | In and out of the central heating | ||
+ | It came and then went | ||
+ | |||
+ | Samantha, Samantha dear | ||
+ | I have to be gone | ||
+ | Samantha, oh Samantha dear | ||
+ | But ooh, she slept on | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well I've itched a thousand itches | ||
+ | But this one tops them all | ||
+ | While crouched down with an ear to the ground | ||
+ | I saw the call | ||
+ | |||
+ | Springing up in disbelief | ||
+ | The supension spilt | ||
+ | And peering in a bathroom mirror | ||
+ | Hung the men with guilt | ||
+ | |||
+ | Samantha, Samantha dear | ||
+ | I have to be gone | ||
+ | Samantha, oh Samantha dear | ||
+ | But ooh, she slept on | ||
+ | |||
+ | One night in a cold sweat | ||

+ | ==== Shadow Of Fear ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I walk through Camden town in the evening, | ||
+ | strolling silently and hardly breathing. | ||
+ | Footsteps behind me slightly quicker, | ||
+ | the corner of my eye a shadowy flicker. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight. | ||
+ | Stops to whisper with the shadows but still keeps me in his sight. | ||
+ | I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware, | ||
+ | don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tonight my fears are growing worse and worse. | ||
+ | I feel him brewing up an evil curse. | ||
+ | I sense a chill creep up my spine | ||
+ | I want to scream but only whine | ||
+ | because I know it can't be true | ||
+ | mind's gone now legs it's up to you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight. | ||
+ | Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight. | ||
+ | I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware, | ||
+ | don't want to get involved in my spititual affair | ||
+ | |||
+ | I try to accept him as my partner. | ||
+ | He still makes cold his manic laughter. | ||
+ | But every time I try to turn around he throws my fears | ||
+ | and makes no sound he stirs them to the ground. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Acheing muscles, puff and pant I run. | ||
+ | To stagger home and hide behind my mum. | ||
+ | But even when I'm safely in my bed. | ||
+ | I know that he is waiting in my head. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I wonder if he's after my soul again tonight. | ||
+ | Stops to whisper in the shadows but still keeps me in his sight. | ||
+ | I shout at passing strangers but they don't seem aware, | ||
+ | don't want to get involved in my spiritual affair. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | He told me to stand here and watch the gate | ||
+ | I've got a wife and three kids you know | ||

+ | I'm as honest as the day is long, | ||
+ | The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong | ||

+ | |||
+ | Scouring through the wasteland | ||
+ | With an uge to take | ||
+ | Anything that comes into view | ||
+ | Only ten more puffs to tea time | ||
+ | I've found eating so time consuming | ||
+ | |||
+ | WIllie, oh Willie she cried | ||
+ | It's time for tea | ||
+ | WIllie, where in hell has he gone | ||
+ | It's time for tea | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | Waking up again another sleepless night | ||
+ | Climbing taller buildings more dreams of flight | ||
+ | In a pool of sweat not knowing what to do | ||
+ | No more earth-bound feelings a diff' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Moment of truth he heads towards the building | ||
+ | His glazed eyes stare vacantly following his feelings | ||
+ | No turning back the door's already shutting | ||
+ | Standing on his tiptoes to reach the nineteenth button | ||
+ | |||
+ | To miss a grasping hand | ||
+ | (I'm falling again) | ||
+ | And squash a passer-by | ||
+ | (I'm falling again) | ||
+ | He wanted to see some evidence | ||
+ | (I'm falling again) | ||
+ | That he could really fly | ||
+ | |||
+ | Balanced on the edge only time could tell | ||
+ | Some say he was pushed, others say he fell | ||
+ | Standing on that rooftop his brain told him ' | ||
+ | But all the dreams in nights before told him he must go | ||
+ | |||
+ | To miss a grasping hand | ||
+ | (I'm falling again) | ||
+ | And squash a passer-by | ||
+ | (I'm falling again) | ||
+ | He wanted to see some evidence | ||

+ | |||
+ | A cage of my own, this cage is my home, | ||
+ | And oh so alone am I. | ||
+ | From above all around helpless to the sound | ||
+ | Of my brother' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just leave us alone, we don't want to moan, | ||
+ | Only if you make us. | ||
+ | Smashed on the lock until I've had to, drop. | ||
+ | Tried to get my message through. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Off goes another with another' | ||
+ | My arms try to bend across to a friend. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can't burn me with your laser beam, | ||
+ | It's pointed at you and tomorrow' | ||
+ | You'll burn my body quietly set free, | ||
+ | And I'll cry for you as I sway from my tree. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I'd give you my brain nothing you would gain, | ||
+ | Its misery seeps from you. | ||
+ | When leaving my cage I am in a rage | ||
+ | Because I know what you're up to. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you walk away remember next day, | ||
+ | Not a second I've slept, awake I'll have kept. | ||
+ | When I reappear, don't look on in fear | ||
+ | My hands could kill | ||
+ | But they never will. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can't burn me with your laser beam, | ||

+ | |||
+ | I just left Victoria Gardens | ||
+ | And walked through cardboard city land | ||
+ | A burnt out star was asking | ||
+ | How would I like to shake his hand | ||
+ | |||
+ | I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry) | ||
+ | And wondered where did we go wrong? | ||
+ | |||
+ | We're looking and listening and hoping | ||
+ | that things are changing for the better | ||
+ | Don't want to preach or teach the blues to you now brother | ||
+ | |||

+ | (Only time can tell) | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's a bloody fine situation | ||
+ | That we find ourselves in | ||
+ | He said something I couldn' | ||
+ | And we laughed with him again | ||
+ | |||
+ | I walked on in no hurry (hurry hurry hurry) | ||
+ | And wondered where did we go wrong? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better | ||

+ | |||
+ | She said it's for the good of us all | ||

+ | |||
+ | Looking listening hoping that things are changing for the better | ||

+ | |||
+ | The latest and greatest | ||
+ | Amazing arrival | ||
+ | No conscience no shame | ||
+ | For the game of survival | ||
+ | Theives and villians | ||
+ | And fraudulent swindlers | ||
+ | Gathered in tribute | ||
+ | With masks of respect | ||
+ | |||
+ | A big hand hooray | ||
+ | Oh come all ye trustful | ||
+ | Let the band play | ||
+ | A waltz into mischief | ||

+ | All faces are turned | ||
+ | To the wizard of sentence | ||
+ | Years of experience | ||
+ | Fall from his tongue | ||
+ | Like teardops to puddles | ||

+ | |||
+ | A big hand hooray | ||
+ | Oh come all ye trustful | ||

+ | A waltz into mischief | ||
+ | |||
+ | This king of the cowboys | ||
+ | Holds fast his deception | ||

+ | Of white pointed heads | ||
+ | To check under carpets | ||

+ | ==== When Dawn Arrives ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | He hums tonight through his streets, | ||
+ | My unlatched window the tune repeats, | ||
+ | The kerb-crawling car winds down to a stop. | ||
+ | A few seconds mumble then whisks him off. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sick and tired of abuse, | ||
+ | Controlled signs of hysteria, | ||
+ | But like when dawn arrives, | ||
+ | He remembers his leisure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He runs tonight through his block, | ||
+ | A crack in the curtain is unlocked. | ||
+ | No meeting with a mother or greeting a friend | ||
+ | A sharp-looking boot-jack with some time to spend. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sick and tired of abuse, | ||
+ | Controlled signs of hysteria, | ||
+ | But like when dawn arrives, | ||
+ | He remembers his leisure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He cries tonight | ||
+ | Through his manner | ||
+ | I can see his conscience | ||
+ | Get the better | ||
+ | From a door-way stepped in | ||
+ | Shadowed leather | ||
+ | Exchanging handshakes for money | ||
+ | And pleasure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He crawls tonight through his scum, | ||
+ | From my dirty window his body's numb. | ||
+ | Beneath the street-lamp tilts shoulders bent, | ||
+ | Then meets his pick-up who pays his rent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sick and tired of abuse, | ||
+ | Controlled signs of hysteria, | ||
+ | But like when dawn arrives, | ||
+ | He remembers his leisure. | ||
+ | His pleasure | ||

+ | ==== White Heat ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Down between the sunbeams the moneylenders chat | ||
+ | Hiding in the shade outside a council flat | ||
+ | Kids in the lift looking for things to throw | ||
+ | |||
+ | And practising their aim on the heads below | ||
+ | They make their apologies with the quickness of their feet | ||
+ | Then lost in the heat haze that shimmers across the street | ||
+ | |||
+ | Underfoot the pavement is melting | ||
+ | Crumbling for the luckiest girl | ||
+ | The whole world is melting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (White white heat) | ||
+ | I'm still not in until a week next Wednesday | ||
+ | I'm holidaying on the roof ©til the big bad wolf goes away | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the street the pavement is melting | ||
+ | Crumbling for the luckiest girl | ||
+ | The whole world is melting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | White heat turns the street upside down. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Down between the sunbeams the debt collectors chat, chat, chat, chat, | ||
+ | Hiding in the shade outside a council flat | ||
+ | By the hairs on my chinny chin chin | ||
+ | I shall not let you in. | ||
