Edie Pilcher (Spink)

 

Don’t leave your luck in the loft

Was the last thing that she said

As I left her at the Mazda Garage

And made my way to an empty bed

 

I miss that feeling,

Feeling of elation

American tan tights

Cosmetic preparation

 

She had her eyes on

The wrong way round

She could see me coming from

Every part of town

 

I’m walking home with Edie Pilcher

I’m walking home with Edie Pilcher

I’ve got Edie Pilcher to thank

Like a drowning man to a passing plank

And I’m walking home again…….with Edie Pilcher

 

I pushed against an open door

When I posed the question

Did you really miss that train?

She misread my suggestion

 

The apple don’t fall far

Far from the tree

Am I walking you home tonight

Or are you walking me?

 

And now I’m not so sure

Was this a test?

Your eyes no longer see

Your lips pass no breath.

 

I’m walking home with Edie Pilcher

I’m walking home with Edie Pilcher

 

I’ve got Edie Pilcher to thank

Like a drowning man to a passing plank

And I’m walking home again…….with Edie Pilcher

 

You can’t re-live the past

Was the last thing that I read

The Mazda garage is no more

There’s a Pizza Hut there instead

 

Oh where’s that feeling

Feeling of creation

Fake tan instead of tights

To save complication

 

Now everybody’s eyes

Are facing down

To the trendy cobble stones

Of a crappy town

 

I’m walking home with Edie Pilcher

I’m walking home with Edie Pilcher

 

I’ve got Edie Pilcher to thank

Like a drowning man to a passing plank

And I’m walking home again…….with Edie Pilcher

 

Fruit Machine (Spink)

 

I watched an old man fall over in the street today,

Out side of the Barclay’s bank, he had some bills to pay

“My wife is at home, I might be old but I’m not alone”

“You can’t trust bloody banks these days”

 

Oh, oh, you think but you don’t know.

Oh, oh, you’re blind so why are you looking out the window

Oh, oh, there’s a sunset that you won’t see,

Unless you throw a coin into my magical fruit machine.

Fruit machine

I watched a storm come closer as I sat on the beach today

Big, black, foreboding clouds and then sheets of rain,

We’re gunna get wet, but you can’t see this on the internet

You can’t trust dial-up these days.

 

Oh, oh, you think but you don’t know.

Oh, oh, you’re blind so why are you looking out the window

Oh, oh, there’s a sunset that you won’t see,

Unless you throw a coin into my magical fruit machine.

My fruit machine

 

Now, Brenda serves tea for the people having therapy,

The chemo nurse says she’s in the way, but she works for free

If Brenda stayed home, you’d be thirsty, she’d be all alone

You can’t trust the NHS these days.

 

Oh, oh, you think but you don’t know.

Oh, oh, you’re blind so why are you looking out the window

Oh, oh, there’s a sunset that you won’t see,

Unless you throw a coin into my magical fruit machine.

My fruit machine

My fruit machine - I watched an old man fall over in the street today,

My fruit machine - I watched an old man fall over in the street today,

My fruit machine - I watched an old man fall over in the street today,

My fruit machine - I watched an old man fall over in the street today,

 

Head for the Sunshine (Loft/Spink)

 

Flop-flops, crop tops, bellies on display

Burn marks, dead sharks floating in the bay

God chase those dirty clouds away

I don’t want to sit here anymore

Sit my arse on the grass, find the cricket score

Come on, Jane, what shall we do today

 

So choose your poison, your beer, your wine, your alco-pops.

Then kill your boss and head for the sunshine.

 

Ice creams, fruit machines everywhere you go

Ferris wheel, no appeal, bloody thing’s too slow

God chase those dirty clouds away

I don’t want this laptop on my lap

Run my hands through the sand, broken glass dog crap.

Come on, Jane, what shall we do today

 

So choose your poison, your beer, your wine, your alco-pops.

Then kill your boss and head for the sunshine.

 

Take that rubbish rap on the radio

Chav pub, ready-rub, nowhere else to go

God chase those dirty clouds away

I don’t want to work here anymore

Sun shines through the skylight in the corridor

Come on, Jane, what shall we do today

 

So choose your poison, your beer, your wine, your alco-pops.

Then kill your boss and head for the sunshine.

 

So choose your poison, your beer, your wine, your alco-pops.

Then kill your boss and head for the sunshine.

So choose your poison, your beer, your wine, your alco-pops.

Then kill your boss and head for the sunshine.

 

I Cried All Down Me Eyes (Spink)

 

I cried all down me eyes, imagine my surprise

When they said “incarcerate her”, and they took you away

Been knocking at my door, making love for sure,

On the bathroom floor, even though I swore

I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore,

Imagine my surprise, when I cried all down me eyes.

 

With your blue eyes and you caravan you charmed me.

I wish they tow the bloody caravan away…Yeah, yeah.

 

I listened in me ears, when you brought me several beers

You told me that you love me, I believe what you say

Coming ‘round my way, you got two lifetimes and a day

Said crime just doesn’t pay, you stole my love away.

Away, Away, Away, Away, Away, Away, Away,

Imagine my surprise, when I cried all down me eyes.

 

With your blue eyes and you caravan you charmed me.

I wish they tow the bloody caravan away…Yeah, yeah.

 

Well, I laughed all round me mouth when they went and let you out

No evidence against you, now I wait home each day

Been knocking at my door, making love for sure,

On the bathroom floor, even though I swore

I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore, I swore,

Imagine my surprise, when I cried all down me

Imagine my surprise, when I cried all down me

Imagine my surprise, when I cried all down me eyes.
