Next dedicated song to uh, my very dear friend Crick, it’s his birthday, it would be...if you were still here, sweet Crick
There were blue skies in my city today
Ev'rything was sinking Said snow would come on Sunday
The old school was due and the traffic grew Upon the Westway Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first And the sirens sing
Bring us the day they switch off the machines
'Cause men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of the distance between us when we communicate
Still picking up shortwave Somewhere they're out in space It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire Under the Westway
Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one eighty still standing at last call When the flags coming down
And the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song
For the way I feel about you
Paradise not lost it's in you
On a permanent basis I apologize
But I am going to sing
Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and sing it to you
Am I lost out at sea
'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway
