I Wander |
| In the days before the curfew came I wander, dissolute |
| Through the pressure and the noise of this city we pollute |
| Out into cherry blossom and the fresh-cut grass |
| Faces in bay windows tapping at the glass |
| I feel the sting of springtime pollen when it hits |
| Takes me back to summer mornings with that pill taste in my sinuses |
| It’s the easy magic of the A to B |
| It’s funny how it takes on a new poignancy |
| I drip in the thick wetness of the sights and sounds |
| Call in at the Crown, a little Motown, where’s your lockdown now? |
| Th simple joys of getting out, doing the rounds |
| Seeing streetlights shiver on in a new part of town |
| Streets of sound of mind, I’ve gotta find, I wander |
| Turning round to see no odyssey no longer |
| All the best ones sound like longing |
| That’s what she said |
| I can’t shift the noise of Boys of Summer from my head |
| Now the city’s like a film set where they’ve upped and gone |
| The sirens sing their lonely karaoke songs |
| I push the blues down through my boots into the earth below |
| Drumming up the ghosts I cherish most to dance the lonely roads |
| Wanna wander through the bloodshot whites of hot-wired eyes |
| The shivering grey violence, UK Friday nights |
| Streets of sound of mind, I’ve gotta find, I wander |
| Turning round to see no odyssey no longer |
| Now it’s just me and my memories, city streets are empty |
| Phantom frequency, FM MD 20/20 |
| Faded flag up on a balcony in front of me |
| Hanging out with only yesterdays for company |
| First-time callers reach an anxious pitch |
| Queuing for a pack of matches as they’re scratching that Blitz spirit itch |
| Where’s your lockdown now? |
| Where’s your lockdown now? |
| Where’s your lockdown now? |
| Streets of sound of mind, I gotta find, I wander |
| Turning round to see no odyssey no longer |
