You asked me so where have you been
|
Let me think now let me see
|
I stood once where Hitlers feet
|
had stood when he made his speech
|
In Nuremburg in thirty eight
|
When he tried to build the perfect race
|
He said black man ain't gonna run
|
Alongside our perfect sons
|
|
There was Dallas too, the library
|
The place they ended Kennedy
|
We stood where Oswald took his shot
|
In my opinion there's a bigger plot
|
Costners back and to the left
|
The picket fence the better bet
|
Paris came and summer went
|
The tunnel's now a flower bed
|
|
The famous turf that made Jeff Hurst
|
The vodka stops to quench my thirst
|
The Golden Gate stroke Alcatraz
|
And the fat man failed to get us passes
|
Jimmys corner in Raging Bull
|
De Niros jokes and bottled pills
|
Elvis tales from Mr Woodward
|
Any Richard Burton if you could
|
|
Tourists stare at tourist stops
|
One more picture one more God
|
Another top up for a change
|
It makes you think, it makes you sane
|
Talking more about yourself
|
There's a mirror too, have a check
|
Cheques are always passing through
|
Some depart but a lot come too
|
|
Restaurant talk or pick your teeth
|
You bite your tongue or chew your meat
|
Sleep or drink or drink to sleep
|
And one more week and we will meet
|
We'll talk of what we haven't done
|
Since we departed back a month
|
We argue why we have to shout
|
All in all it's nice to be out.
