Somewhere good to go - when that old body packs in & the world’s full of strangers.
May Every Day
Lyrics by Mick Evans
My name’s on the menu
wolf’s knockin’ at my door -
worms all dressed for dinner
singing ‘can we have some more?’
Rain slides down my window
they rub my joints with cream -
feed me pills and potions
so I’m quiet till I’m seen
Care enough to patronise me
Close my eyes
it’s May every day -
my other me lives here
always comes to play -
perfect summer country
perfect worlds away -
close my eyes
it’s May every day
Trained in indignity
the silver-surfers’ dream -
filling cardboard bottles
put to bed - get wiped clean
Care enough to patronise me
Close my eyes
it’s May every day -
my other me lives here
always comes to play -
perfect summer country
perfect worlds away -
close my eyes
it’s May every day
You know you mighta died
diving in these coral-blue eyes
before the mists of time -
I was a fighter - a dreamer - a lover
before I lived on the inside -
chasing through those Bluebell woods
back then - when I felt so alive
So I close my eyes
and it’s May every day -
a shadow waiting
too weak for today -
come take my breath
chase this cold world away -
close my eyes
make it May every day
