作曲 : Richards | |
A Tuesday night in Winter, holed up in the city of ravens, | |
The owls in the hills hoo-hooing and eyeing off the field mice down in the cold grey centre, | |
Addle Brains lining up with the dead for the soup spoon, | |
Addle Brains and the legions of the passed for the bread bag, | |
Ladle the soup, pass the rolls, | |
Addle Brains and the many not here and loose souls. | |
One might fly off to the blank heavens and the lead high halls, | |
O the hungry sky aches for blokes without folks and bulges with the bearers of palls. | |
Addle Brains would drink for four days and no eats, | |
and sleep in the glens of botanical parks, and on the humped bus shelter seats, | |
Where it's cold, where it's cold. | |
One morning I woke up in a room in the nation's heart, | |
and couldn't think for the life of me what I was doing, or where to start, | |
or what rehearsal was required, I was so sad and tired. | |
What does a bird want with money? | |
Was he made this way? | |
Do you have to earn the right to find all of this funny? | |
Nothing's funny today. | |
Addle Brains mixes his powders with his fateful blues, | |
and the wide-eyed bubs of the Parliament couldn't give a hoot, or even two. | |
All it takes, it takes, is a kind look and a word, a word, | |
Some pretty eyes and skin, from your fine family you were given to win, | |
and spill it over into the basin of common sin, | |
just a drop, a drop of the stuff that makes us kin | |
- Addle Brains perching way out on a limb. |
