Mornington Crescent
|
I think of you
|
Rain in the southeast
|
Men feeling blue
|
Men with their bowlers
|
Kids with their spats
|
Ladies with chauffeurs
|
Dogs wearing hats and jackets
|
Rich apartments
|
Old punk posters
|
Tartan garments
|
I love the exquisite array
|
I love the camp as camp parade
|
The possibilities suggest themselves to me
|
|
Mornington Crescent
|
The sun in the east
|
I've got a job on
|
For a Senegalese rich arbitrator
|
In African law
|
To paint his apartment, strip down the walls
|
Came down between us lately
|
Lust and want and need just caved in
|
'Is it wise?'
|
The answer's no
|
It never is but since you ask
|
We pause thoughtfully, for twenty seconds reprieve
|
Then it's off with the briefs
|
|
Mornington Crescent
|
Sin is my game
|
We'll all be lined up
|
Irrelevant fame
|
Next to the broker, the nurse and the drunk
|
I was a joker, the wannabe punk that got lucky
|
Had a good time
|
Life became fruitless
|
Egotistic swine to all your friends
|
All the ladies and the men
|
The possibilities suggest themselves to me
|
We're a little too free.
