about

If you do not say hello to your neighbour in Smugville, you will have your hat nailed to your head and then be driven from your home by a loud mob carrying flaming torches and copies of The Daily Mail.

lyrics

I bought all the songs and I learned all the lines
They meant so much to me
When he pranced about on Top of the Pops
For all the world to see
They said he don’t smile and his outlook was bleak
But he just looked devine
Never quite sure if his hearing was great
In my bedroom in my Northern climes

CHORUS
The time was ours, the smell of waving flowers
And everything seems so mild
We’re older now, but boy we all know how
Those epigrams made us Wilde

I saw him perform at the back of a hall
He seemed so far away
The music burst out inside of my head
Like the taste of a cabernet
I underlined words cause they spoke out to me
My mind was in a maze
Wasn’t quite clear, but he always felt near
A cell down in Strangeways

CHORUS

They played so bright but they went like a flame
He moved across the sea
Is sometimes seen on Top of the Pops
Making witty repartee
Seems so strange that I pinned all my hopes
As he danced so proud and odd
I always thought he’d be happy inside
Facing a firing squad

CHORUS x 2
