Cakebrick road in summer 1981
etc......
we shared a house and garden.
At the height of all the bombing, on the run in busy, hazy London.
Through tshirt breezes walking home from work- County Kilburn sun.
Weekends we'd just wash away the dirt of busy hazy London.

The night grew cold, the thames is old
La da da da.....
Found that manners count for nothing and it took a Welshman in his forties.
Guinness elbows rest upon a tabletop, the two of us are earlies.
Three feet of snow fell on the Walnut road; two feet trudged.
ROund the corner came the sound of bad dreams
The flame is old, the thames is cold.
Cakebrick road in summer 1981, we left a house and garden
On the corner boys, best of friends.
The extra guitar and especially bass parts help give it a good sound, as
