Brushes
Graham Parker
WELL I LOVE IT WHEN THOSE DRUMMERS PLAY THE BRUSHES
I LOVE IT WHEN THEY STROKE IT LIKE A GIRL
LOVE THE SOUND OF SKYLARKS AND THRUSHES
AND I LOVE TO EAT THE OYSTER ROUND THE PEARL
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M WORKING IN A GARAGE
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M PUMPIN' GAS ALL DAY
IT'S JUST THE KINDA LIFE I DISPARAGE
BUT I'M STUCK WITH IT NOW I HAVE TO SAY
OH I WANT TO BE WHERE THE LAND MEETS THE SEA
WITH A LIFEGUARD LOOKING OUT FOR ME
OH SHE'LL LOOK LIKE SOMETHING FROM A HAIRSPRAY ADVERT
OR COSMETICS COMPANY WHERE ALL HER MAKEUP'S FREE
I CAN'T BELIEVE I WORKED IN A FACTORY
MAKING RUBBER GLOVES EVERYDAY
WELL THAT KINDA FUTURE COULD HAVE BEEN ME
IT WAS ONLY INCHES AWAY
