Take you to the cinema
and leave you in a wimpy bar -
you tell me that we've gone too far -
come running up to me.
make the scene at cousin jack's -
leave him to put the bottles back -
mends his glasses that i cracked -
well that's one up to me.
buy a silver cloud to ride -
pack the tennis club inside -
trouser cuffs hung far too wide -
well it was up to me.
tyres down on your bicycle -
your nose feels feels like an icicle -
the yellow fingered smoky girl
is looking up to me.
well i'm a common working man
with a half of bitter - bread and jam
and if it pleases me i'll put one on you man -
when the copper fades away.
the rainy season comes to pass -
the day-glo pirate sinks at last -
and if i laughed a bit too fast.
well it was up to me.
