'Mid the pause |
|
In the wreckage came |
|
The peculiar light |
|
Of a Saturday |
|
Fictions form |
|
In the ghost of years |
|
But they fell apart |
|
As they always do |
|
Seething limbs all stick together |
|
Where a firmer hand would serve you better |
|
Cause the streets you walk are unforgiving |
|
And a softer voice takes longer hearing |
|
Father said |
|
Well there isn't much |
|
That you couldn't do |
|
WIth the right approach |
|
Every hour |
|
Is a cavalcade |
|
To be gazed upon |
|
As it slips away |
|
Seething limbs all stick together |
|
Where a firmer hand would serve you better |
|
Cause the streets you walk are unforgiving |
|
And a softer voice takes longer hearing |
|
Thought you'd found |
|
Everything you'd lost |
|
In the open arms |
|
Of a council paw |
|
All our hopes |
|
On this summer's day |
|
Is it boring you? |
|
Cause it's boring you |
|
Seething limbs all stick together |
|
Where a firmer hand would serve you better |
|
Cause the streets you walk are unforgiving |
|
And a softer voice takes longer hearing |
|
A softer voice takes longer hearing |
