I'm staring down a mile of disappearing track
Is this the best that we could do
I'm leaning through the rain but you ain't...
Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children fight each other for a share
And the 6:09 goes roaring past the...
I'll catch the tramline in the morning
With your leave Van Bushell said
He had further heard the cock crow
As he...
From this day on I own my father's gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down below the southern...
Rolling over trying to sleep
And understanding women
Thinking of you out there somewhere
Looking for a new beginning
I took myself a blue canoe
And I floated like a leaf
Dazzling, dancing
Half enchanted
In my Merlin sleep...
Whenever I hear good-bye
Reminds me, baby, of you
I break down and cry
The next time I'll be true, yeah

Lately I've been thinking how much I miss my lady
Amoreena's in the cornfield brightening the daybreak
Living like a lusty...
Holding all the pictures that my life's drawn
I never find I'm missing love
Remembering all parades that had been rained on
If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories

I'm going on the circuit, I'm doing all the clubs
And I really need a song boys to stir those workers up
And get their wives to sing it with me just like in the pubs
When I worked the good old pubs in Stepney
Oh could you knock a line or two together for a friend
Sentimental tear inducing with a happy end
And we need a tune to open our season at Southend
Can you help us
It's hard to write a song with bitter fingers
So much to prove, so few to tell you why
Those old die-hards in Denmark Street start laughing
At the keyboard player's hollow haunted eyes
It seems to me a change is really needed
I'm sick of tra-la-las and la-de-das
No more long days hacking hunks of garbage
Bitter fingers never swung on swinging stars, swinging stars
I like the warm blue flame, the hazy heat it brings
It loosens up the muscles and forces you to sing
You know it's just another hit and run from the tin pan alley twins
And there's a chance that one day you might write a standard lads
So churn them out quick and fast and we'll still pat your backs
'Cause we need what we can get to launch another dozen acts
Are you working
