Aqualung |
|
Sitting on a park bench |
|
eyeing little girls |
|
with bad intent. |
|
Snot running down his nose |
|
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes. |
|
Drying in the cold sun |
|
Watching as the frilly panties run. |
|
Feeling like a dead duck |
|
spitting out pieces of his broken luck. |
|
Sun streaking cold |
|
an old man wandering lonely. |
|
Taking time |
|
the only way he knows. |
|
Leg hurting bad, |
|
as he bends to pick a dog end |
|
goes down to a bog to |
|
warm his feet. |
|
Feeling alone |
|
the army's up the rode |
|
salvation a la mode and |
|
a cup of tea. |
|
Aqualung my friend |
|
don't start away uneasy |
|
you poor old sod |
|
you see it's only me. |
|
Do you still remember |
|
December's foggy freeze |
|
when the ice that |
|
clings on to your beard is |
|
screaming agony. |
|
And you snatch your rattling last breaths |
|
with deep-sea diver sounds, |
|
and the flowers bloom like |
|
madness in the spring. |
