One Of Those Days In England, Pts. 2-10
Roy Harper
Every Wednesday morning, at about the hour of tenI give the queen my autograph, she gives me the yenThe man behind the counter smiles, the door man bows againJust another day down on the dole queueBut the government must love me 'cause they keep me out of workThey must be saving me for something specialMaybe it's the job of rolling spliffs for Captain KirkOr giving Miss Lovelace a pubic hairdo.One of those days in England with a sword in every pondAnd birds in every garden in the landOne of those days in England when the passion never endsA slowly moving season by the fire of my friends.And though the time fast slips away, it's long enough to laugh and playAround the fireside making hay, dreaming of tomorrow, you know there's no today.One of those days in England with the willow hanging onI dreamt I met an old man down the roadWhispering the mysteries of patterns up aheadAnd stirring past reflections with the sword of lightning said,Alfred had me made from Albion's evergladeAnd I made him to lie with me whence all my troubles fadeYou may have read the signs, beware of strange designsFor though the victors write the books, the loser speaks the linesSo let's now both be gone, 'tis far to AvalonAnd though we go our different ways, I'll see you there anon.And so I got on board the bird of aeons and I rodeBut everytime I met a prince, a fork came down the roadI kept on thinking that I'd stop once everybody showedGathered in the myths of our reflection.But stopping ain't that possible this far into controlThis far beyond the non imaginationNo more than I can shed the moving forces of my soulThe time lords of the slowly revolution.You and me, mother, we're gonna raise a ship full of kids and slowly lose themWhy does it matter where they've all gone, we don't even have the power to choose themYou and me, father, we're gonna colonise all of the stars with lots of our madnessShooting through space with sons on our hips and guns on our lips to play snakes and ladders.Oh heavens above, I'm coming with love all over, over you.You and me, sister, we're gonna plant a bomb in a street to change law and orderAnd when we've killed all who resisted the call, we'll discover a brand new wall at the borderYou and me, brother, wrapped up in silence, brooding for better breathing spacesSeeing ideals, we were one time a part of rip us apart in our holiest places.Oh heavens above, I'm coming with love all over, all over you.Sitting out there with this silvery hair and your thundery look when you really don't care, but I love youDolly blue rivers, foreverness givers, I'll go without knowing and know without going above youStood on the ship in a dream at third slip with Britannica's tallons on Albion's grip, do you need me??Looking for you when it's catch 22 and you've never been here but it's always been blue up above me, up above me.Oh Mrs. Space took her man to the human raceAnd together they humped over the edgeNine months later, they were sharing a brand new faceThe latest thin end of the wedge.And baby grew, grew into a space cadetLegend lives, he screamed under his breathI'm in the queue, in the queue for the hell of itSome place inbetween life and death.Oh Mrs. Space, I love you, with your come home early eyeDon't ever come between us 'cause times don't change, they fly.And it don't seem long since my life was an endless streamThe future fled into time without traceI see the end now but I've fallen in love againWith a girl who can travel in space.Oh Mrs. Space, you lead me a wild goose chaseInbetween, inbetween every lineWell hell, girl, I don't even know your face'Cause you see you've been sitting on mine.Oh Mrs. Space, I love you, with your come home early eyeDon't ever come between us 'cause times don't change they fly.Slowly slipping into history feel us goWith these times another age could never knowSee the photos black and white and quaintly dressedStood in queues of people smiling, sorely pressed.Your silent room is the collection of your waysEvery shelf is built of all those different daysAnd those much younger cannot understand by halfThe wireless living room, the faces 'round the hearth.The ration books of Matthews out there on the wingThe corner shop that sold us almost everythingThe farthing in the change, the sirens and the planesPuffing billies, shunting eras down the lane, down the lane.You know we'll soon be gone from here, year upon light yearWe'll take the stories with us there, the memories are dear.One of those days in England, mum was rustling up the grubAnd dad was off out propping up the pubOne of those days in England that you just could not forgetFrom the mists of secret morning to the golden red sunset.And though the time fast slips away, it's long enough to laugh and playAround the fireside making hay, dreaming of tomorrow, oh you know there's no today.Oh you know there's no todayNo, you know, today.
