Hope Road |
| So these are circumstances |
| Leading to my sorry tale |
| I was in a town I didn’t know |
| I’d arrieved there by rail |
| It all began a week befire — |
| The joys of Saturday Night — |
| An invite to a party |
| Or watching The Price Is Right |
| Opting for a soiree |
| For the first time in a year |
| Mixed badly with the revellers |
| Mixed Bacardi, wine and beer |
| The room moved back and forwards |
| The dancers did the same |
| Found refuge in a corner |
| That’s when he asked my name |
| Well this is very nice, I thought |
| Smiling through the haze |
| As we talked of Auguste Rodin |
| Through to Harold Pinter’s plays |
| Said he played piano |
| Said his name was Steve |
| Why shouldN’t I believe |
| That he really lived so far away |
| Had to make a move for home |
| Scribbled down his address |
| Said he didn’t have a phone |
| Would I like to come to dinner |
| On Friday of next week |
| To this i said I’d love to |
| As he kissed me on the cheek |
| That night I felt so happy |
| Excited through and through |
| See ! |
| The company of strangers |
| Doesn’t always leave you blue |
| Stumbled home contented |
| Like a cat that got the cream |
| Wake up a little weary |
| But I knew it was no dream |
| The next few days were auyiouns |
| What could I find towaer? |
| What happens if i arrive |
| And there is no Hope Road there? |
| My friend said don’t ba silly |
| No one does things like that |
| Now will you get a move on |
| And take off that stupid hat ! |
| Made sure I set out early |
| Made sure I caught the train |
| Got out at the right station |
| Then of course came down the rain |
| Followed the directions |
| Excactly as he said |
| Asked people if they new Hope Road |
| But they just walked on ahead |
| I turned left at the junction |
| Took the fork off to the right |
| Straight over at the crossroads |
| Then down to the traffic lights |
| Must have walked those streets for hours |
| In the dark and in the cold |
| Before I realyy could accept |
| There was no place called Hope Road |
| So here I am alone again |
| Indoors by myself |
| The TV, plants, books and I |
| All nearly on the shelf |
| Next time I’ll be more cautions |
| Next time I Won’t be fooled |
| It’s another of those basic things |
| You’re never taught at school |
| Let this be a warning |
| As you wander through the world |
| It makes no difference who you are |
| Be you boy or be you girl |
| Be very, very careful |
| When people seems so nice |
| It’s not how that it’s expensive |
| Later on you pay the price |
| There’s no Hope Road |
