Roy's Keen
Lost
The Edges Are No Longer Parallel

 

The photo was taken by Roger Mayne, most famous for his photographs taken on London Southam Street between the years 1956 and 1961.

Roy's Keen

He's romancing you
and chancing his arm
and he'll be here
smiling on time
He's romancing you
and chancing his arm
and he'll be here
smiling on time
Roy's keen oh Roy's keen
Roy's keen oh Roy's keen
we've never seen a
keener window-cleaner
back up the ladder
into each corner
dunking the chamois
just think of the goodwill
the ladder's a planet
Roy is a star, and
I am a satellite
(but that's alright)
He can hold a smile for as long
as you require (even longer)
He can hold a smile for as long
as you require (even longer)
Roy's keen oh Roy's keen
Roy's keen oh Roy's keen
we've never seen a
keener window-cleaner
back up the ladder
into each corner
dunking the chamois
just think of the goodwill
the ladder's a planet
Roy is a star, and
I am a satellite
I will be set alight
don't say you'll hold it steady
then you let it go
don't say you'll hold it steady
then you let it go
You're up the ladder
into each corner
foot in a bucket
we trust you to wreck it
Even when it's under you nose
we'll you just can't
see it, can you?
well it's here
right under your nose
and you just can't
see it, can you?


LOST

Jet trails in the sky
Leave one world behind
A hand bends into sand
And we all understand

Everybody's lost
But they're pretending they're not Lost

Jet trails in the sky
Leave one thought behind
A hand bends into sand
And we all understand

Everybody's lost
But they're pretending they're not Lost

So if I see you and I tell you
How I watched you, I'm just lost
So if I see you and I tell you
I've watched you
Don't make fun of me later
Cos I'm just lost

If I see you and I tell you
How I watched you
Don't make fun of me later
Cos I'm just lost

{repeat}


THE EDGES ARE NO LONGER PARALLEL

The edges are
No, no longer parallel
The edges are
No, no longer parallel

And there's no law
Of averages here
If you feel down then why won't you stay down

All of the things you said
So meaningful
They are so suddenly
Meaningless

And the looks you gave
So meaningful
They are all
So suddenly meaningless

And there is no law
Of averages here
If you feel down then you're bound to
Stay down.

My only mistake is I'm hoping
I'm hoping
I'm hoping

{repeat}

My only mistake is I keep hoping
