25th
Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home.
me and the major could be close friends because we get on the same train and he wants to talk to me.
but there is too much history, too much biography between to us.
he’ll take a guy like me and put him the army, because the queen’s own army makes a man of you.
but he doesnt understand and he doesnt try, he knows theres something missing and he knows its you and i.
we’re the younger generation, we grew up fast. all the others did drugs and they’re taking it out on us.
if i get stuck in the lift its always with a man of noble standing who looks down on me like i was never born.
i think the major’s going quite insane, he goes along the pavement and comes back again, like he’s on parade, at least he thinks so.
he rememebers all the punks and the hippies too, and he remembers roxy music in 72.
i want a dance, i want a drink of whisky, so i forget the major and go up the town, because the snow is falling.
