Candice Morganauer's gone to join

the quick and the dead clever

tonight we're seeing her final film

her crowning endeavour

she washed herself for years

in mouthwatering praise

but we all know she never grew up

she just shrank sideways



Yesterday was fine, I've forgotten it somehow

last week wouldn't even show up on radar now

last week wouldn't even show up on radar now



Winnie the Obscure

he's weighing his own heart

he's been sleeping like Calvin Coolidge

to keep himself apart

and now he's crying

"Old Drella is dead, and I didn't feel a thing"

and Jude the Pooh with a landslide smile replies

"All the more power to him"



Under the roofs and the gutters up above

even the sparrows are burning up with human love

even the sparrows are burning up with human love



Night of light

it's failing over Gringley-On-The-Hill

powders are on the plantation wind

over Dallowgill

we reach the doors to the doubtful city

they close as if in pain

out on Howard Devoto Boulevard

I remember you and me

we're kissing in the rain



And it's all so gone

and this could never last

I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you

against the past



It's gone

it could never last

I'll stay with you

I'll stay with you

against the past
