Peterborough

well you better get ready now,
you better fix your eyes and cheeks
and set your faces against the rain
and remember Mozambique
coz they can see you, riding in your sun hat
so fine, like a torn down echo or a curtain
or a telephone. let's not get stuck
on what you are like,
just get ready and don't scream.
It's happening tonight, they're in town
All the lions, listen to the lions
All the dancing horses
(bring on the dancing horses)
Send in the clowns. No, don't bother.
They're crap. This is not the land of make believe
This is June in Peterborough.
We've got things to do
and passports to get and
there is not a single public loo
in the whole damned place.
