Southport, West Kirby
Blackpool or Irby
Even The Meadows
It's just a park
But it's space to lark
Run around, chase a ball
& drink Robinson's cordial cordially
Chorus
Please, please down take us to Buckels Nursery
It's dull as dishwater
Plants standing still
Seedlings, cuttings & scoldings
Things & people growing old & stale
I'm losing the will
Please, please don't take us to Buckels Nursery
It's dull as dishwater
Plants standing still
Seedlings, cuttings & scoldings
Hothouse lushness is fine
But I smell death & decline
Panini stickers
Got, got, haven't
Football in the street
Climbing into Georgie's Yard
Playing on the ralla
The terrifying thunder of the trains
As we lay only feet away
Chorus
The danger, the joy
Just a boy
Constant sun, never dull
Days to fill
The vastness of the waste
Beware bloodsuckers, make haste
I now know just a tick tick tock
Cider in the park
Tumble back after dark
Learning to be
Later dancing in the living room
First kisses swoon
Crossing a line
Full to the brim/Bryn
Chorus
Finally I buckled
But not in a Scots way
It's not that funny
Yet here I am
Sweating slightly
Self-criticising rightly
Perusing
I stand in this aisle of green
& wonder if I'll
Take the plunge & take a cutting
In surreptitious style
& smile to myself rather sadly
People drift towards the exit
Shutters coming down
Chorus
