about

There's no money in happy songs !

lyrics

Return to a cold cold city
Where the future was a mystery
What ghosts are in these houses now ?
What fates did their Gods allow ?
Well I lived here in eternity
Writing bad poetry in Bloomsbury

Dodge cold shadows of autumn
The long light of the setting sun (Life looks grim in Wimbledon)
In the golden woods of Surrey
Where there is no great hurry
Except that the sun is low and colder
And we just can’t stop getting any older

At the bottom of Leith Hill
With the hopes that time has killed
So what ever is left in this day
Time wrap it all in darkness
Time wrap it all in darkness
Time wrap it all in darkness – and take it away

And these shadows are all tricks of light
Sentries posted for the darkest night
Memories that linger on
But photograph days are long gone
And it’s time that never tires
And I can feel the heat of hellfires

At the bottom of Leith Hill
With the hopes that time has killed
So what ever is left in this day
Time wrap it all in darkness
Time wrap it all in darkness
Time wrap it all in darkness – and take it away

But I leave this world without a debt
Paid them off with a dead man’s cheque
I signed it - Gregory Peck
Cheated the banks and cheated death
That was my tax avoidance (retirement ?) plan
Signed my name with a severed hand

At the bottom of Leith Hill
With the hopes that time has killed
What ever is left in this day ?
The dimming of the golden rays ?
Time wrap it all in darkness
Time wrap it all in darkness
Time wrap it all in darkness – and take it away
