lyrics

Tin Pan Alley


Joe
Just remember
That only in your dreams you’re running scared
And Joe
We’re listening
To all the nightmares of your new world

Joe
Where are you?
I’ve searched from Gloucester to Cockfosters
Think we all need some bright young spark
But all that glistens here are all the old ghosts

Night comes to all
Think I might fall
Upon this Damocles sword
So let’s fall
All praise this frame
If we all play this game
We’ll always lose it all

Hit
Or miss
And after all it’s only who you might kiss
Spend
Pennies from heaven
Gone like raindrops on the main road

Gay barrow boys
All make some noise
Down Holloway Road
As they go
Songs for the soul
Never grow old
Roll along prairie moon
Roll along

These Tin Pan Alley dreams
And all those crazy schemes
Are nothing more than mealy millionaires
This train from Liverpool
Took all your friends from you
You fill your pockets with your prose
