lyrics

it all looks bleak
on islington street

the skeleton leaves
and the dead factories

i sit on a wall
i tie up my lace
when did a smile last cross this old face?

on islington street

i happen to be
on islington street

you send me your love
but the signal is weak

i sit on a wall
i tie up my lace
when did a smile last cross this old face?

on islington street

another lorry load of fantasy trash goes by

to be crushed
to be buried
to be denied

memories memories
in my memorial mind

to be crushed
to be buried
to be denied

admitting i'm beat
on islington street
how many pints of blood
will rush down to my feet?

i sit on a wall
i tie up my lace
when did a smile last cross this old face?

(for rhett barrow)
