[introduction sample:]

Cigarette, a cup of tea, a bun.



Ooh... /

Button up your sheepskin carraway, / rainy cafe, kentish town, tuesday. /

Barry's looking through the racing post,

/ orders coffee, another round of toast. /

Lucy writes a letter, / she'd like to spend an evening with prince b. /

[when they perform the song live, the verse is often extended to:

Lucy writes a letter, / and harvey throws his arms around vanessa /

? ? ? spoke with pm dawn ?

? ? / she'd like to spend an evening with prince b.]



When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /

When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /

Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for, /

Joking around, still digging that sound. /

Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for. /



Squeezy bottles under pepsi signs, / joe and johnny chew the bacon rind. /

Jackie wants to meet the glitter band,

/ dilworth is a strange and lovely man, /

And eubank wins the fight, / and did you see the klf last night? /

Robbie wants to be the heavy [? ] / ? ? ? /]



When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /
