Twenty Three |
| I moved to town at 23 |
| And launched myself in society |
| From a squat in Archway, N19 |
| Looking for a thrill |
| I fell in love with Ecstasy |
| Which seemed to fuel my vanity |
| I swore to write just poetry |
| And live upon a hill |
| It wasn’t her my love, it was me |
| Looking for another way to see |
| Looking for another place to be |
| I sang my songs of Birmingham |
| How did you relate to them? |
| Did you dig the proleterian way |
| I got it wrong? |
| I bet you never thought I’d dream of you |
| More than that I’d fall for you |
| Walk just to bump into you |
| Like you bumped into this song |
| And I’d betray my childhood |
| Betray my class if I could |
| For a moment truly understood |
| A reason to believe |
| In ornamental flower beds |
| There in blooms the memory |
| Of all those who can’t come back to me |
| The love we have to leave |
