Nothing came under The rays remained in the sun that day And life isn't full of surprises You think you could steal in Pop over the wall in the middle of the night Climb out of those heavy boots and clothes And into that cool blue You're not even dipping your toe I find this bed too big now It's like those people you see on the way to work Stuck in an endless queue of traffic Each one in their own individual car Half of them coming from the same place Going to the same place Going nowhere They could quarter the amount of cars by sharing a lift Go on the bus, wipe out all the cars I should rid myself of this bed, get myself a cardboard box No waste of space No force of empty wasted space for your body to create its dent in I miss your back You're back, how are you? What are you up to? Getting on okay? Fuck off Eighteen months ago they moved in here The scrap metal dealer to one side And divorced violinist to the other Each morning we'd wake to the same chorus Of cookers and fridges being dragged on their sides across the concrete Accompanied by Ravel's Bolero At first this was the best sound we'd ever heard Hammer a six inch nail into my right ear Shove a red hot poker up my nose Make me walk on hot coals and broken glass Gouge out my eyes with a cocktail stick Rip my fingernails off The pain would be so much easier than doing nothing to me at all It was that dream again, when I was on the table There was bright lights, and Laurence Olivier out of 'The Marathon Man' staring down at me As they unbuttoned my coat and unravelled my sweater And the shirt and the vest peeled And said "Did something die in here?" So, whose bed you been sleeping in then? Some poncey arsehole I'll bet I can see you there And it fucking hurts God, I want to buy you bagels and cream cheese for breakfast Run down the corner shop without my undies or socks on Make some fresh coffee, hop back into your warm bed And have those chats I miss so much Another coffee? Cigarette? Fancy going to the pub later God, it's good to see you You always cheer me up
