He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating

one-line jokers --- T.V. documentary makers

(overfed and undertakers).

Sunday paper backgammon players --- family-scarred

and women-haters.

Then he called the band down to the stage and he

looked at all the friends he'd made.

The minstrel in the gallery looked down on the

rabbit-run.

And threw away his looking-glass - saw his face in

everyone.

(REST THE SAME)

Well, my lady told me, ``Stay.''

I looked aside and walked away along the Strand.

But I didn't say a word, as the train time-table blurred

close behind the taxi stand.

Saw her face in the tear-drop black cab window.

Fading in the traffic; watched her go.

And taking in the morning, heard myself singing ---

O Requiem.

Here I go again.

It's the same old story.

Well, I saw a bird today --- I looked aside and walked

away along the Strand.

and I'm probably bound to deceive you after all.

Something must be wrong with me and my brain

if I'm so painfully unrewarding

But my dreams are for dreaming and best left that way

and my zero to your power often equals nothing at all.

Double lock defense, there's no chain on my door

and I'm available for consultation

But remember your way in is also my way out,

and love's four letter word is no compensation

Black Ace dog handler I'm a waiter on skates

so don't you jump to your foresking conclusion

Cause I'm up to my deaf ears in cold breakfast trays

to be cleared before I can dine on your sweet

Sunday lunch confusion.
