Ben's neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood where my girl lives, just passin’ with my car
Summer’s at the doorstep and it’s four weeks to july
The hot sun’s on my side, (it) makes me feel good
The quarter’ s on the rush now, bustling as a giant hive
The vans of delivery boys, the traffic jams”
But my smile stays on my face because of you
Maybe I should park the car and have a little break
A brief stop at the bakery to get some chocolate cake
And by chance I could be meeting you
“Fun to see you here my dear”, you’d say as you see me
Then we’d enjoy three minutes out of reality
Before I’d say “Good-bye, my love, see you”
Finally I didn’t stop, so fine in my daydream
Thought this working day, would soon be the evening
That I already planned to spend with you
I realised the shit was on, the second I saw you
You kissed me on the cheeks and looked more than aloof
And said “You know, it is not about you
Just a matter of moment, I’m really not in the mood
You’d better stay away from the dark side of the moon
And from my neighbourhood.”
