Ageing Raver

ROY HARPER

Stain-glass people filling the sooty
City but he's sleeping
Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

Eight in the morning daydreams are
Forming but he's sleeping
Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

He's a younger version of a face upon
A picture inside an antique locket
Staggering around outside of time
Inside the candy of a bottle in his pocket
He's no idea which way the sun has gone
Hyde Park Corner on Sunday and Whitehall's
A terribly good place to sit
And Newquay's a good beach to lie on and dry
In the sun and sing "Trouble in Mind"

Fifty times in between every trip
Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver
Party at midnight waterloo
Station everyone smiling
Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver

Her mummy's in Bermuda - Daddy's
Trying hard to lose
Her the King's Road's absolutely
Full of holes

Picasso's in the bathroom marble
Couches in the
Toilet and a bidet in the Rolls
And Wimpole Street hormone like
An ocean never drains
The see-saw city of London -
The jigsaw puzzle of light
The flashing elastic confusion of
All that's been
Done - and the reasons for doing
That all disappeared in the night

Ageing raver part-time shaver ageing raver
Dog-end saver ageing raver sunshine craver
Ageing raver sunshine craver
