lyrics

The clocks went back as he appeared
Like an old romance of yesteryear
And he wasn't takin' any lip
From the soup bums on the midnight strip

In his old coat a photograph from home
Tram ticket farthing and a broken comb
And the street cars screamed a chord
Like a nail down the middle of a teacher’s board

Bouncers bounced a drunken Scot
Tied him in a surgeons knot
As he combed his Brylcreem hair
And breathed the aroma of the Chinese fayre

The night grew the colour of chartreuse
Hot panted girls in platform shoes
Stumbled gawky in the cracks
With prophylactics and blister packs

The Palace Ballroom in its time
Played Heath and Dickie Valentine
Now haemorrhaged drunken trolls
Hot from the scent of the stripping pole

Her red dress by the magazine stand
And the bloodstone on her tiny hand
All reminded him of Claire
In days before they had a care

Rain splashed like merlot down the pipes
Off the rubicund inner city lights
But no one could see him walking there
For he was just a ghost of yesteryear
