Late September you walked into my life
I remember the autumn, I remember that night
That smile on your face, the pale pale moon
All those good times still left to come
I remember that autumn, I remember that night
The smile on your face, the pale pale moon
All those good times still left to come
Awoke by a phone call one cold night
In my dream you had been going to die
I felt so scared that I was going to lose you
When I answered the phone I already knew
I cried bitter tears you had taken your own life
Down the corridor to the bedroom
I sit here in silence all alone
Alone is all I’ll ever be
Except at night when you visit in my dreams
It tears my mind I can’t see you tomorrow
We were walking, walking in two worlds
In the gardens of sunlight home
Bad children on the phone
Withheld me to withhold you
Said I’d kiss you if you want
You’ve got things back to front
I got a letter, I sent it back
I didn’t like it, what you had
Jack names the planets after you
When I turned, you had gone away
So I didn’t skip upon that day
Morose feelings, small mind
Don’t touch his face you might like his kind
Said I’d kiss you if you want
You’ve got things back to front
Don’t mind your spelling, it ain’t so bad
Things like that they never made me quite as mad as you
Jack names the planets after you
I wish you’d come back, everything's ready for you
You are welcome if you plan to
You can come walking and you know where
You’ve got to understand that you’ve got to care
Said I’d kiss you if you want
You’ve got things back to front
My mother’s dying I’ve got to go home
But there’s more you won’t be solely on your own
Jack names the planets after you
Now it’s too late to be using my mind
To reason with you would be far too kind
It’s all coming down like the dark on the town
The cold stings my tearstained face
So now it’s all over, it’s much too late to say ‘oh no’
I try not to echo everyone’s dream
But they don’t exist or so it seems
They just live inside of me
But it’s too dark I can never see you
And now it’s all over, it’s much too late to say ‘oh no’
Oh she looked so lovely, standing on her own
Oh she looked so lonely, standing on her own
She looked at me as she closed the door
A stare so cold, but what for?
I fell in love as she crossed the floor
I need her now but she hates me more
And now it’s all over, it’s much too late to say ‘oh no’
Oh she looked so lovely, standing on her own
Oh she looked so lonely, standing on her own
I set off this morning
Down the road along the river
Which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore
Then inland for a mile or more
From the cold sea spray
A small wood stands upon the hill
An old house near it lies in ruins
Forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing, overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lonely grave
At dusk I will make my way
Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
But before I step inside for bed
I’ll look up at the stars as we did
All those years ago
So here’s for Uncle Pat
Get your money out for me
If you get it all out you’ll see
You’ve got so much to give, you’ve got so much to lose
It might seem just a little unfair so now you see that you cannot choose
Take a time out for me
Get it all out and you see
You’ve got so much to give, you’ve got so much to lose
It might seem just a little unfair so now you see that you cannot choose
Get yourself out for me
Get it all out and see
You’ve got so much to give, you’ve got so much to lose
It might seem just a little unfair so then you see that you cannot choose
The cars come up the drive, too many people inside
Under the stars they smile, they want to invade my home
I pace the darkened hall, try to consider it all
In the dull lamps glow and the truth is I don’t know
The cars stop outside, they all stay inside
The house is drenched in light, but what have I done wrong I quietly climb the
stairs,
I remember all the years I check everything is right I need to hurry - now!
I’ve been preparing for days, I know exactly what to say
“No one will be around, no one will take me down”
They’ll all get back in the cars, and maybe they’ll go home
But the things they’ll never know, like where it is I go.
He spent the week at his friend's house
It had been ages since they'd been in touch
The weekend passed in a drunken haze
It felt good, like the old days
I lied, you're not so different today
Don't go so far away
And without you my life is boring
Anyway
They went down to the station on Sunday
He felt sad as the train pulled away
He wished that it would never end
He knew he'd never see him again
Who's that boy with the honey face, looks like he should be
sedated
He's all smash and grab in his addidas tags, wound up and agitated
And I bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy
Does your heart go boom when he walks in the room
Do rain clouds scatter and fall
Do you feel yourself sigh as he passes you by
Or do you grow a hundred feet tall
D'you go bang-shang-alang, every time you see him
" " " " , everytime you're near him
" " " " , everytime you hear him
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all!!
Who's that boy with the ocean green eyes, in Rough Trade every Saturday
Don't he look cute in his eighties tracksuit
I wish I hadn't thrown mine away
And I bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy
Do the stars explode when he walks you home
On a cool and clear evening
D'you wanna put him on like your favourite song
Or never wanna hear him
D'you go bang-shang-alang, everytime you see him
" " " " " , every time you're near him
" " " " " , every time you hear him
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all!!
In the midday heat I gave a sigh
Cruisin' through the Garden District I was out of my mind
The Star of India's in my hotel room
In a briefcase combination: 3,2,1 (which only I know)
And I've just seen my mentor Dr No
"California Sun" is on the radio, Let's Go
I just wanna reach the Radio Star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far
I was shooting up in my hotel room
When the phone started ringing - oh no
It was Dr No he gave the password
He said "Hey man, haven't you heard?" and I said "No"
"The world's been invaded by alien life forms
Meet me at the airport, we've got to get out - Let's Go"
[spoken] I went to the window and looked out,
there were dead people lying all over the streets.
Within two minutes I had all my stuff together.
I jumped in my car and was speeding down the highway past all the deserted cars.
In five minutes I was at the airport
but there at the gates I saw what I suppose was one of these 'Alien Life Forms'.
I pulled by bazooka out of its bag in the back of the car and blew it to hell.
As arranged Dr No was waiting for me in the terminal,
we got in his private jet plane and took off,
two hours later landing in Zaire,
where we met up with Fu Manchu, Hannibal Lecter,
The Hooded Claw and all the rest of the gang.
We boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars
and as we approached the space station I looked down and observed the Earth,
the US Air Force being annihilated and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through
the statosphere destroying the Earth
- and I swear to God I laughed.
Congratulations you guys
I just wanna reach the Radio Star
It's a satellite of Venus and it ain't too far
