  • So these are circumstances
    Leading to my sorry tale
    I was in a town I didn't know
    I'd arrived there by rail
    It all began a week before-
    The joys of Saturday night-
    An invite to a party
    Or watching The Price Is Right
    Opting for a soiree
    For the first time in a year
    Mixed badly with the revellers
    Mixed Bacardi, wine and beer
    The room moved back and forwards
    The dancers did the same
    Found refuge in a corner
    That's when he asked my name
    Well this is very nice, I thought
    Smiling through the haze
    As we talked of Auguste Rodin
    Through to Harold Pinter's plays
    Said he played piano
    Said his name was Steve
    And in that situation
    Why shouldn't I believe
    That he really lived so far away
    Had to make a move for home
    Scribbled down his address
    Said he didn't have a phone
    Would I like to come to dinner
    On Friday of next week
    To this i said I'd love to
    As he kissed me on the cheek
    That night I felt so happy
    Excited through and through
    See! The company of strangers
    Doesn't always leave you blue
    Stumbled home contented
    Like a cat that got the cream
    Wake up a little weary
    But I knew it was no dream
    The next few days were anxious
    What could I find to wear?
    What happens if I arrive
    And there is no Hope Road there?
    My friend said don't be silly
    No one does things like that
    Now will you get a move on
    And take off that stupid hat!
    Made sure I set out early
    Made sure I caught the train
    Got out at the right station
    Then of course came down the rain
    Followed the directions
    Excactly as he said
    Asked people if they knew Hope Road
    But they just walked on ahead
    I turned left at the junction
    Took the fork off to the right
    Straight over at the crossroads
    Then down to the traffic lights
    Must have walked those streets for hours
    In the dark and in the cold
    Before I really could accept
    There was no place called Hope Road
    So here I am alone again
    Indoors by myself
    The TV, plants, books and I
    All neatly on the shelf
    Next time I'll be more cautious
    Next time I won't be fooled
    It's another of those basic things
    You're never taught at school
    Let this be a warning
    As you wander through the world
    It makes no difference who you are
    Be you boy or be you girl
    Be very, very careful
    When people seem so nice
    It's not now that it's expensive
    Later on you pay the price
    There's no Hope Road
