Fall - Winter (hostel Maxi) lyrics

Entrances uncovered

Street signs you never saw

All entrances delivered

Courtesy winter

You got Manny in the library

Working off his hangover 3:30

You get the spleen at 3:15

But it's 3:13

The mad kid walked left-side south-side towards me

He was about 7

His mother was a cleaning lady

She had a large black dog

And the mad kid said:

"Gimme the lead

Gimme the lead

Gimme the lead"

I'd just walked past the alcoholics' dry-out house

The lawn was littered with cans of Barbican

There was a feminist's Austin Maxi parked outside

With anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side

..on the inside and they didn't even smoke...

Anyway two weeks before the mad kid had said to me

"I'll take both of you on,

I'll take both of you on"

Then he seemed the young one

He had a parka on and a black cardboard Archbishop's hat

With a green-fuzz skull and crossbones

He'd just got back from the backward kids' party

Anyway then he seemed the young one

But now he looked like the victim of a pogrom

Entrances uncovered

Street signs you never saw

All entrances delivered

Courtesy winter

Entrances uncovered

All enquiries too

All entrances delivered

Courtesy winter
