lyrics

Dusty streets meander westward out of town
Canals filled with sewage to keep the tourists out
No end to the museums, monuments to sand
At night, you've never seen the sky so dark

//

The writer in the corner of the bar
Not another drink, that's four so far
His pen heavy at the end of the page
Only a few more words and he'd call it a day

The postman's son, on a stool by the fire
Heavy coat, and a frame like a wire
Drew his pipe to grow some strength
To ask the waiter when his shift would end

"I'm on for the night sir
You can eat and drink till dawn
I'll be here to watch the door
I hear there's devil's about"

//

At a table I sat judging my wine
To set the mood every bar needs a bard
I heard it first, the steps at the door
A thundering rain as a shadow strode forth

A storm broke through and emptied the town
After an hour or so the gale moved along
I stepped outside to feel to cool harbour air
Take a glass for a walk, ease my despair

Took a seat to watch the tide roll in
A bench with a plaque to a man long dead
He'd gotten lost and slipped into the bay
Now his legacy rusts on a damp autumn day

//


A woman came to join me, her hair thin and white
Her eyes brightly blue with the veins popping out
She sat in the grass, legs outstretched
"Give us a story" she said, as she rolled a cigarette

That's a bookshop on that hill
Where during the civil wars a gallows stood
Killed a thousand just to sell me a book
I'd never read, I only liked the way the cover looked

"A robin in a blue vest, sitting on a branch
Judging how long the rain the would last
It's eyes blackened out the shape of a cross
Its mind idly fixed on a moment in the past"

//

Dusty streets meander westward out of town
Canals filled with sewage to keep the tourists out
No end to the museums, monuments to sand
At night, you've never seen the sky so dark
At night, you've never seen the sky so dark

//

No Harm No Foul
Only dead on the inside
The outsides fine
Satan's hands clenched
On a goblet of wine
Choking on flesh as he laughs into the night
