lyrics

I felt the call through the blue grey afternoon
A whistle and a hum and the most beautiful tune
So I sat on the crumbling window ledge
The sun lit up my face and settled in my chest
I saw it all again, I saw the walks we'd take
I saw the empty hunks of steel on the abandoned railway
I saw it as it was, the songs that went unsung
I saw the patch of dying we set alight when we were young
I felt the call of the brand new stretch of road
The commuter and the homeowner who's stretch of land was sold
The protesters horn and the consequential screech
The angry birds and frightened hares and the honey bees
I saw woman that the newsman terrified
How she won't look a sweatshirt directly in the eye
She used glance, but now she's to blind see
That if she's kept of the streets she'll watch twice as much tv.

The speciality that stands grazing in a field
It's not a friend or animal it's an un eaten meal
The hopeful thing with feathers drifting through the sky
Not a scientific wonder, just a way to survive
and The nursery school teacher, with whom I had my first crush
Now struggles up the steps of the number 40 bus
And lollipop lady who used to help me cross the road
Has long since retired cause she couldn't stand the cold
I saw a time for spending and I saw a time to save
But it depended on the angle it depended on the day
There was a trick of light and a change of scene
And what would have passed for foolishness now seemed like bravery
I saw honesty in fiction and falsity in truth
Life lessons in literature and bullshit in the news
Aliens exist and Jesus was a lie
And then nothing seemed and no one seems to cry
