The Truce of Twilight - The Good, The Bad & The Queen

Enjoy it while it lasts because soon it will be different

Pernicious playgrounds and new age cultism

Outbreaks of optimism in care homes of England

The famous goodwill dumped in your fly tips so…

Go raise your idols

Pull them out the marshes

Go give them sanctuary

Put them in your new builds

Because everything is now a live stream

The noise is rising

Curtain twitchers can take out their sunscreen

It looks like it’s come to rest

The truce of twilight the echoes of the horned ooser

In a Southend caravan park from shore to pierhead

The twelve that follow on they are camping on the cliff top

They not dreaming just looking to midnight

Go fill your pockets now

With tomorrow’s landfill

The Lions and Unicorns

Are sleeping out in shop doors

Outside dreamland

Glassy eyed demography

The smell of cut grass

The swallows are returning

And it look’s like they’ve come to rest

Bring me my shell box and my submachine gun

Because you can’t get over anything quite like this

Where the water is darker than the mirror of the sky

And Demis Roussos playing «Forever"on the waterslide

Conscripted into ranks

Look what we have done

The feckless and the lazy

Look what we’ve become

Chicken collector man

Look what we have done

The fortune teller she sits with the starlings

Look what we have done

Oh the mass elopers turn to exhale

Look what we have done

In the dance schools of England

Look what we have done
