Album:

Too Old To Rock'n'Roll; Too Young To Die

Fish and chips, 
sandpaper lips 
and a rainy pavement. 


Soho lights, 
another night 
thinking of you. 


Black cat, 
sat on a wall, 
winks at me darkly. 


Suggesting ways 
and means that 
I might win a smile, 
as you leave the place 
where you work until 12.30 
and the policemen nods 
as you pass along his beat. 


Sweaty feet, 
troubled brow 
we're all in the same game, lady. 
Life's no bowl of cherries 
it's a black and white strip cartoon. 


I've been warned 
that you and your friends are crazy 
as from your hearts 
you bare your parts to the gentlemen, 
who, while they drool, trying to keep cool, 
spill their Scotch and water. 


But I'm not that way, 
I must say I'd much prefer to see 
you in your texturised rubber rainwear around 12.30. 
Come and play shades of grey 
in my black and white strip cartoon. 


Strip cartoon is all I'm after. 
Strip cartoon is all I crave, 
so come to my place around 12.30 
'cause I'm a leading politician 
at a dangerous age. 


Strip cartoon is all I'm after. 
Strip cartoon is all I crave, 
so come to my place around 12.30 
'cause I'm a leading politician 
at a dangerous age. 


Strip cartoon, strip cartoon is all I'm after. 
Strip cartoon is all I crave, 
so come to my place around 12.30 
'cause I'm a leading politician 
at a dangerous age.
