Robert Wyatt - A Beautiful Place lyrics

rate me

Oh look there’s a dead rabbit… all flat… completely flat… oh there’s another one…<br />

what’s in the gutter... oh it’s a… one of those polystyrene… um boxes… that’s all… take away... there’s chips in there… didn’t really want to finish the chips… that’s unusual… <br />

<br />

I’d been walking for hours<br />

Needed a rest<br />

Take a good look around<br />

No where to rest<br />

There’s a shop<br />

Selling gentlemen’s suits<br />

Further along<br />

An estate agent or two<br />

And a takeaway sign<br />

Over a dusty door<br />

Shiny photos of food<br />

Slightly micro-waved<br />

It’s a Methodist hall<br />

No smoking<br />

No dogs<br />

It looks pretty grim<br />

In the Methodist hall<br />

Despite a poster which says<br />

That its there for us all<br />

And it’s a beautiful day<br />

For walking away<br />

Beautiful day

<br />
