Typical day |
|
Cars being towed away |
|
Junk mail through the door |
|
joins the post on the floor |
|
Drilling |
|
always someone drilling |
|
somewhere in the city |
|
authorised by committee |
|
Permission is bestowed |
|
according to postal code |
|
Terms and conditions may vary |
|
It's nothing out of the ordinary |
|
Sometimes someone gets upset |
|
doesn't hear the laughter |
|
takes it as a threat |
|
but it's different after |
|
After the event |
|
looks like someone's smiling |
|
happy to be here |
|
Blue skies heaven-sent |
|
There's a kind of glow |
|
illuminates the flow |
|
over to the east |
|
of traffic in the streets |
|
Not to be outdone |
|
the school run has begun |
|
Mothers all arrive |
|
each in a four-wheel drive |
|
Sometimes someone gets upset |
|
doesn't hear the laughter |
|
takes it as a threat |
|
but it's different after |
|
After the event |
|
looks like someone's smiling |
|
happy to be here |
|
Blue skies heaven-sent |
|
Evening comes as a surprise |
|
Suddenly someone dies |
|
Everyone's over-reacting |
|
with cliches and bad acting |
|
Misty in the rain |
|
flowers in their cellophane |
|
Policemen intervening |
|
Drama without meaning |
|
It's perfectly routine |
|
A statement from the Queen |
|
Obituaries appear |
|
You can leave your tributes here |
|
Sometimes someone gets upset |

From |
|
Did you see me coming? |
