Lyrics Photo Shop - Ian Anderson

Photo Shop

A Morris Minor, a café noir —
Banana smoothie, snails in a jar
Three dodgy sailors, a girl on skates —
A little too muscled from doing weights
A family wedding, a sushi bar —
Sand in the Seychelles, karaoke star
Lads on the razzle get lost in love
Paddington station, rain clouds above
The crumpled sheets of a long hot summer
Stored images like an acorn, drop
Squirreled away, but still remembered
By the man in the photo shop
Rush hour on Praed Street: behind the glass —
A picture process, in one hour fast
Intimate portraits of topless wives —
Flashed indiscretions: snap-happy lives
