Bootleg Crawl
His false teeth flew when the wild child hit him
The black dog barked as the sun was setting
Streetlamp told of another time
Where people seethed and people cried
Silvery moon
What can you do
Shed light for the fools
Licking whisky off the ground
You hear that shattered sound
Concrete jungle, what a mess
You cut your tongue on shattered glass
Crazy old bootleg crawl
Silvery moon
What can you do
Shed light for the fools
Who plays those changes?
Who plays those changes
Jackie was six and Jackie was safe
Jackie was six and Jackie was safe
Jackie was six and Jackie was safe
Jackie was six and Jackie was safe
Silvery moon
What can you do
Shed light for the fools

Gaps

There’s a house by the road
Standing by itself
There’s a tree there and a man there
And he looks a lot like you
See your friends in this place
Turning back the time
Face stick and your face
Is hard to leave behind
So it goes
Everybody’s voices
Rise and flow
Singing out for you
Tell the night
Tell the night
So we sing a thousand songs
You knew that’s what we’d do
But what of those whose
Words get stuck and
Tangled up in you
Tell the night
That you are not able to fight
And we’ll all raise a glass to the gaps in class
And we’ll drink to what’s not right
So it goes
Everybody’s voices
Rise and flow
Singing out for you
Tell the night
Tell the night
You know you’ve got to stand tall
You know you’ve got to stand strong
And there’s no one to say it as there’s no one around
You were telling us then
What you are telling us now
You were telling us all (x4)

Part Dame

Takes to the streets
Part-Dame
Heels on his feet, hair on his chest
Lipstick on his teeth, hat on his head
Part-Dame
Relishing the freedom, the feeling, the freedom, the feeling, the freedom
Walking in the dark as it feels like freedom
Walking in the dark as it feels like freedom
Walking in the dark as it feels like freedom
Through painted eyes, the world unfurls and takes you by surprise
You smile and let it take you
You smile and let it take you
You smile and let it take you
Watch them watch you
Through painted eyes, the world unfurls and takes you by surprise
You smile and let it take you
You smile and let it take you
You smile and let it take you
Watch them watch you

Four feet on the wall
Four feet on the wall
One rolls a cigarette and lights
Sharing a bottle of, whatever you like
Four feet on the ground
Four feet on the ground
You scream for the comfort of sound
You scream for the comfort of sound
Lay down
Lay down
Lay
Young bone on stone
Young bone on stone
Some fall fast and some fall free oh
Some fall fast and some fall free
Lay down
Lay down,
Lay

Ook and the Elephant Bolton, UK
Ook, ook, ook
Say it fast, say it whispery and menacing
Say it as slow as you can.
Your weary ear
needs a rest. Everybody clangs so hard.
