It's a lethal ballet
|
Air traffic congestion
|
I'm having a baby
|
Second thoughts, scotch, dinner
|
And someone's dancing on the box
|
A former MP
|
And no one was watching
|
My oldest friends are a serious habit
|
Fly boy blue, so bring your faces home
|
To my sweet trampoline
|
And acres of crash site love
|

Someone's dancing on the box
|
A former MP
|
And no one was watching
|
My oldest friends are a serious habit
|
Fly boy blue, so bring your faces home
|
To my sweet trampoline
|
And acres of crash site love
|
|
Presidential delays
|
Suppose I'm just lucky
|
I'm having a shindig
|
Me, Red Bob, and the ivory host
|
And someone's shouting on the box
|
A chinless prefect gone Godzilla
|
My newest friends have forgotten my name
|
But so have I, so far so good at home
|
You and me trampoline and oceans of crash site love
|
|
What can be said of the cigarette smokes
|
A prop for a joke or a mark on the clock
|
If I stopped would the bus ever come
|
Would the dawn ever kiss me, forgiven me, knowing what's done
|
Would the drivel make scribble, make sense and then song
|
Would the woodbines denied black another man's lungs
|
Perverse as it may sound, I sometimes believe
|
The tip to my lips just reminds me to breathe
|
|
What can be said of the whiskey and wine
|
Random abandon or ballast for joy
|
That was scuppered with trust, little more than a boy
|
And besides I'm in excellent company
|
I'm reaching the age when decisions are made
|
On life and liver and I'm sure last ditch
|
That'll I'll ask for more time but mother forgive me
|
I still want a bottle of good Irish whiskey and a bundle of smokes in my grave
|
|
But there isn't words yet for the comfort I get
|
From the gentle lunette at the top of the nape of the neck that I wake to
|
|
And where are the words for the leap in my chest
|
When mischief appears either side of the scar on your nose
|
Made by a rose thorn, so you claim
|
By a rose thorn
|
