Ageing Raver

Stain-glass people filling the sooty city but he's

sleeping

Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

Eight in the morning daydreams are forming but he's

sleeping

Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

He's a younger version of a face upon a picture inside

an antique locket

Staggering around outside of time inside the candy of a

bottle in his pocket

He's no idea which way the sun has gone

Hyde Park Corner on Sunday and Whitehall's a terribly

good place to sit

And Newquay's a good beach to lie on and dry in the sun

and sing "Trouble in Mind"

Fifty times in-between every trip

Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

Party at midnight waterloo station everyone smiling

Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

Her mummy's in Bermuda - Daddy's trying hard to lose

her. The King's Road's absolutely full of holes

Picasso's in the bathroom marble couches in the toilet

and a bidet in the Rolls

And Wimpole Street hormone like an ocean never drains

The see-saw city of London - The jigsaw puzzle of light

The flashing elastic confusion of all that's been done

- and the reasons for doing

That all disappeared in the night

Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

Dog-end saver ageing raver sunshine craver ageing raver
