JACKET

oh! Bristol you're so fuckin wet and it has been the case since we first met;
from Paderborn down to St. Kitts - even in heaven you get the shits;
i went to Thailand for a spell - the food was great the heat was hell;
i went to Philly for a while - and barely got out alive;
Down in Oz i missed the frost - couldn't get arrested or a job.
 in the Andes the locals glared - for this gringo they don't care.

chorus:
but you're alrite and youre ok, 

maybe happiness doesnt lie at the end of a runway;
Look at the rain! and the endless grey-

You've got to make a choice, make a choice...and get a jacket fr the rain. 

Brighton oh u stole my heart but the mental times couldn't last; 
in wales i missed my English rose though it aint far from home 
new York glittered in the dark - but way too high those towers arc;
London home of anomie, alienation, panic, tears;
Midlands West you did your best - & I'll be back
west Germany so beautiful - but I never learnt the words in school.

Mid-west winter was fuckin cold - a 10 minute walk I couldn't feel my toes;
the good and bad it abounds-You just gotta look around-
It s not as bad as Syria, Quarry Bank or North Korea..?
