Matchstick Man |
| So there he was then, Penzance to play |
| Christmas Eve in a nowhere band |
| Now early morning Christmas Day |
| He’s hitching home to Geordieland |
| Last night the snow came, just my luck |
| And who the hell do you think you are |
| Climbing up into that truck |
| With your old bag and your guitar |
| And you, you would-be vagabond |
| No-one invited you, you know |
| Matchstick man, up in the dawn |
| You’ve got five hundred miles to go |
| The driver now must drop off his load |
| The snow still laying thick on the ground |
| Leaves him on a high crossroads |
| Where he can see for miles around |
| The sun is shining, sky is blue |
| And everything is white and bare |
| Not a car comes into view |
| There’s nothing moving anywhere |
| And you, you would-be vagabond |
| No-one invited you, you know |
| Matchstick man, you speck upon |
| These vast and silent plains of snow |
