Basil

Tracker (Deluxe)专辑


  • My Saturday job pays six and six down

    A copy boy at the Chronicle

    Five cigarettes and two silver half crowns

    Meeting Vince at Mark Toney's in town

    Boy, do we get around

    Basil sits there on the table for subs

    But not a part of the Bri-nylon club

    Ancient blue sweater, too old for the job

    Bored out of his mind

    With the Colins and Bobs

    I'm a jack and a lad

    And I'm up for the world

    And I've kissed a Gateshead girl

    He calls for a copy boy, grumpy as hell

    Poets have to eat as well

    What he wouldn't give just to walk out today

    To have time to think about time

    And young love thrown away

    I'm a jack and a lad

    And I'm up for the world

    And I've kissed a Gateshead girl

    Starlings swarming
    A cloud over Grainger Street

    Over the black church

    Over the Black Gate

    And the shadowy Keep

    He peers through his wire rims

    At the fish and chip words

    He's supposed to dish up and forget

    His drudgery now has become slightly blurred

    By one of his Players untipped cigarettes

    Bury all joy

    Put the poems in sacks

    And bury me here with the hacks

    In the summer the fair
    Will stretch over the Moor

    Lovers will lie and make out in the park

    Basil puts on his old duffel and scarf

    And goes out into the dark
