lyrics

UNDER THE RAINBOW
A cup of tea and a spliff does Vic from next door you can hear the kettles click shhhh listen silence engines ticking over and over diving in and out of the rain peers out from under crumpled duvet window cleaner yawns crack of dawn peeps through the curtains still down it pours ladders padlocked to the car climbs the ladder to the stars cricket team are on the green second innings gone like a dream and just as we were catching up metallic grey clouds burst interrupts sliding in and out diving in and out of the rain diving in and out of the rain more than a pastime it’s a national hobby silent huddles in the warehouse lobby ivor chesty cough is at the station and you begrudge him emigration Keith the thief is young and cunning and let’s the cops do all of the running it’s just a game now shake hands and you won’t break the sporting man diving in and out diving in and out of the rain getting drenched and how sliding in and out of the rain car parks to nothing wet hours in lay-by’s the sirens don’t stop bones starved of sunshine shop doorway to bus shelters told your children not splash us a vain attempt to turn the van round today’s the day we put the dog down spoon on china steam café windows drew a space ship with your finger diving in and out diving in and out of the rain what’s silence? throw the kids into the car catch their heads on the way in.
