NO BELLS LEFT TO CHIMEThere’s always some damn dog barking somewhere Those creatures are no neighbour’s best friend And the television aerials stand up like stalks on a lake The kids start up their cars with a roar And drive down the street ‘til three in the morn’ The world’s full of opportunity when will they ever learn The TV once portal now mirror All the merchants of doom on the news overload The canal is lined with fishermen chattering into cell phones These houses expand like concertinas Wheezing out a one key tune If you go off the beaten track you will always come back with a story I’m going off the beaten track; somewhere out there is my story No kind open arms just disorderly brides No chewing of the fat just a few brief lines I could walk for miles and find no bells left to chime And the sky is a Tupperware grey The morning offers no welcome just grey It’s hard to find things sensual on just another UK day If you park in the wrong place you start a war Come back home find a note through your door The walls back on to walls and roads and the roads join up with roads The walls back on to walls and roads and the roads join up with roads. |
