… but not here

A Beautiful Peace
(Song von Robert Wyatt von COMICOPERA)

I’ve been walking for hours,
needed a rest.
Take a good look around,
nowhere to rest.

There’s a shop
selling gentlemen’s suits.
Further along
an estate agent or two.

And a take-away sign
over a dusty door.
Shiny photos of food,
slightly microwaved.

There’s a methodist hall.
No smoking
No dogs

in the methodist hall.

It looks pretty grim
in the methodist hall,
despite a poster which says that
‚He’s There for Us All‘

City-Snack in die Tonne

And it’s a beautiful day,
for walking away.

It’s a beautiful day,
but not here.
