Mornington Crescent
I think of yo u
Rain in the southeast
Men feeling b lue
Men in their bowlers
Kids with their s pats
Ladies with ch auffeurs
Dogs wearing hats and jackets
Rich apartments
Old punk posters
Tartan garments
Some of the exquisite ar ray
I love the camp as camp pa rade
The possi bilities sug gest themselves to me...
Mornington Crescent
The sun in the e ast
I've got a job on
For a Senegal ese
Rich arbitr ator
In African l aw
To paint his apar tment
Strip down the walls
Came down bet ween us lately
Lust and want and n eed just caved in
'Is it wise ?'
The answer's n o
It never is but since you a sk
We pause thou ghtfully, for tw enty seconds re prieve
Then it's off with the b riefs
(Couplet instrumental)
Mornington Crescent
Sin is my game
We'll all be l ined up
Irrelevant f ame
Next to the bro ker
the nurse and the drunk
I was a jo ker
the wannabe punk that got lucky
Had a good time
Life became fruitless
Eg otistic sw ine to all your f riends
All the l adies and the men
The possi bilities sug gest themselves to m e
We're a little too free...
