1)I was walking in the park Dreaming of a spark When I heard the sprinklers whisper Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns. Then I heard the children singing They were running through the rainbows. They were singing a song for you Well it seemed to be a song for you The one I wanted to write for you
Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green When I am King, dilly dilly You will be Queen A penny for your thoughts my dear A penny for your thoughts my dear I.O.U. for your love I.O.U. for your love
Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue When you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you A penny for your thoughts my dear A penny for your thoughts my dear I.O.U. for your love I.O.U. for your love
Lavender dreams dilly, dilly lavender true When you miss me dilly dilly, I did miss you A penny for your thoughts my dear A penny for your thoughts my dear I.O.U for your love I.O.U. for your love For your love 2)I) Brief Encounter A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow, Not the regal creature of border caves, But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar Of some obscure Scottish poet. The mist crawls from the canal Like some primordial phantom of romance To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen. While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father. Your carnation will rot ina vase. II) Lost Weekend A train sleeps in a siding, The driver guzzles another can of lager, lager. To wash away the memories of a Friday night down at the club. She was a wallflower at sixteen, She'll be a wallflower at thirty four. Her mother called her beautiful. Her daddy said, (a whore). III) Blue Angel The sky was Bible black in Lyon, When I met the Magdalene. She was paralyzed in a streetlight. She refused to give her name. And a ring of violet bruises, They were pinned upon her arm. Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand, To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear. 'J'entend ton coeur', 'J'entend ton coeur', I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart, I can hear your heart. Hear your heart. I can hear your heart. IV) Misplaced Rendezvous It's getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paper. Something's gonna give under this pressure, And the cracks are already beginning to show, It's too late. The weekend career girl never boarded the plane. They said this could never happen again. Oh, so wrong, so wrong. This time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvous. This time, it's looking like another misplaced rendezvous, With you, The parallel of you, you. V) Windswept Thumb On the outskirts of nowhere, On the ringroad to somewhere, On the verge of indecision, I'll always take the roundabout way, Waiting on the rain. For I was born with a habit, from a sign. The habit of a windswept thumb. And the sign of the rain, (rain on me, rain) It's started raining. 3)) Wide Boy Wide boys, wide boys, wide boys, born with hearts of Lothian. Wide boys, wide boys, born with hearts of Lothian. Wide boys, we were wide boys, born with hearts of Lothian. These hearts of Lothian. It's six o'clock in the tower blocks, The stalagmites of culture shock, (culture shock) And the trippers of the light fantastic, bowdown, hoedown Spray their pheremones on this perfume uniform. And anarchy smiles in the Royal Mile. And they're waiting on the Slyboys, flyboys, wideboys. Rooting, tooting Cowboys, lucky little ladies at the watering holes. They'll score the Friday night goals. I was born, with a heart of Lothian. I was born, with a heart of Lothian. I was born, with a heart of Lothian. With a heart of Lothian. II) Curtain Call And the man from the magazine, Wants an
