lyrics

here I am and

here you aren't,

in the deep grass

in this park

it’s not what it was

in years gone past

now there's more

cost cutting than grass



there's a jellied up lad

belly down on the slide

and a queue of little kids

who fancy a glide

here comes a mum

a tough one – ouch!

last time that lad

chooses that couch.



swings and roundabouts

went for a ride

don't know why

they left the slide



the sun's doing one,

the days about to dark

ooh look at you –

eyes like sparks,

black matchstick legs

going back to yours,

fried chicken portion

in those jaws



the countryside gave us

townies foxies

we gave it supermarket

trolleys for swapsies

do solitary collies

round up those trolleys?

do packs of hounds

hunt them down?



I used to come here

and party with my auntie

I'd bend her ear

and the strings of her heart

till she sent me for cornettos

she’d ask ‘was there change?’

and I'd say ‘no’

and she’d say ‘strange.’



the roundabout was

roundabout there,

the swings, yeah,

in this bit of air

they had to dig

the roundabout out

a man said ‘sorry kid’

I said ‘how is

auntie gonna whiz me

whiz me til I'm sick and dizzy?’
