There's a cone in the river and a Safeway's trolley overturned |
|
By the pre-postmodern business centre someone forgot to burn down |
|
The town was where we met but it could all have been so different |
|
Well I'd been here for ever - sixteen years that felt like more |
|
And you'd think it was clever not to venture far from your front door round here |
|
Wait for the afterlife, sing up in church and drown out all the voices that say, |
|
"I'm ok and how d'you do and what was it I meant to do, well what are you supposed to do but give the kids something to do but hang around" |
|
She was there in the fun bar - no-one goes expecting fun |
|
Don't recall why I went there - no-one goes for just the one round here |
|
They put a brave face on, commiserate, reflect on their bad choices and say, |
|
"I'm ok and how d'you do and what was it I meant to do, well what are you supposed to do but give the kids something to do but hang around" |
