Oh, Lord Christo and the fire down below,
through my green door into this house of sound
Is it the sea?
Or is it you and me?
Far from town,
over and out.
Dig out their graves just don’t dig them when they’re young,
All of their songs are hung up on the wall.
And they you want to,
They can pull them down,
down the shore
and into the night.
So it was true the beauty in the blues
Harboured in you a clue for how to choose.
Beer in the bath and gin in the gym,
what will become, oh what will be of him?
And if he wants to
stay out all night
and if he wants to
lead a double life.
Over again and in the space between
hot ham for dins and eating everything
in sight, even our hands, hands that touch the beast in us.
Head up his arse and a feeling that it’s wrong
all over now, now he’s singing in my song.
Over again and from the weather vane
it blows a steady wind
to close the door.
And if they want to they can work it out
work the corners and into the light.
