lyrics

A freshly minted copy of ‘Barely Legal’,
On warm & crackling vinyl: ‘Fly Like an Eagle’
With items such as these I feel really perfectly at ease,
I am at peace in my own bed-sitting world!

Falling into the seat of a beloved armchair,
Oh I shall wear a pomaded parting in the centre of my hair
And I shall prance into ‘Scope’ in the no doubt forlorn hope
Of discovering a rather natty pair of shoes.

Relaxing with Foghat & Barclay James Harvest,
My dinner…a treat of Spam & oven chips,
The cabbage kicks in & then another chilled tin
Oh the joys of cardinal sin!

Considering the consequences of a diseased liver,
A familiar death mask in the bathroom mirror,
The triumph of time & nasty red wine:
Am I the victim of the giros I have signed?

I sometimes wonder…shall I carry on?
Shall I continue to bombard this world with song?
Is it my destiny to fuse melody & poetry
For this cruel & indifferent world?
