Bromheads Jacket

Bromheads Jacket - Poppy Bird lyrics

rate me

He spied her on the tube

And she was wearing a bright red poppy

Her beauty it shone through the silence

As the commuters they tried not to make eye contact

He'd never seen such a beautiful thing

Except for in movies or up on billboards

He never seen such a beautiful thing in

All his years of travelling these trains

Her shiny brown hair was tucked behind her ears

And her big blue eyes pierced right through her glasses

The book she was reading was of an interesting nature

He knew that he would surely like to date her one day

A few more stops to Walthamstow

Its just a few more stops to Walthamstow

Its just a few more stops to Walthamstow

And poppy bird i wonder what your name is

He was a child of a difficult nature

It was compulsive disorder related

Sometimes he would do silly little things

Like turn the key in the door 5 times before he went to bed

In the past he got in some silly situations

With girls from school making some silly accusations

He was through all that and he knew what to do to not

Get himself into trouble

He wanted to walk past and just ask her her name

And say shes so pretty hes been watching her on the train

He was a child of a difficult nature

He was a child of a difficult nature

A few more stops to Walthamstow

Its just a few more stops to Walthamstow

Its just a few more stops to Walthamstow

And poppy bird i wonder what your name is

A few more stops to Walthamstow

Its just a few more stops to Walthamstow

Its just a few more stops to Walthamstow

And poppy bird i wonder if i'll ever meet you

He can't believe his luck coz hes in Walthamstow

And shes leaving the train or so

He follows her onto the platform

Up the stairs and through the barriers

He gets a bit too close and she looks behind

He takes control of himself and walks further behind

Now they're out and they're onto the street

And they walk past the top of his road

It sure is dark and yes it sure is cold

And so he plucks up the courage

And starts to make his approach

She can hear his footsteps

Her hearts in her throat

Should she turn start to run

No don't be dumb

No don't be dumb

No don't be dumb

No please don't be dumb

He's so close now she waits to be grabbed

And she prays to god that she won't get stabbed

So close now she can feel his breath

And he grabs her on the arm and says

"Missus, this your book that you left"
