After the Event |
| 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 clichés 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 |
| 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 |
