XTC - Shore Leave Ornithology (Another 1950) lyrics
[XTC - Shore Leave Ornithology Another 1950 lyrics]
Slacks, coffee trend
I could have been in the US navy
Flapping grey, coffee smoke
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Where the hell were you?
Rough stencil, print music
Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard
Cardboard coffee
Saxophone mention barbers, NY
The cigarette was burning, the flat shoes
Stool
Bongo, coffee, don't mention that black man
The leather-coat was his where was she?
Could have been in the US navy
Flow beating air, table-top, shoulder slung
Shore leave, no sailors here
Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard
Liquor slacks twisting
The cigarette was burning
The flat shoes, the flat shoes
The flat shoes bird, bird, bird, bird
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Bird, bird, bird
I could have been in the US navy
Flapping grey, coffee smoke
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Where the hell were you?
Rough stencil, print music
Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard
Cardboard coffee
Saxophone mention barbers, NY
The cigarette was burning, the flat shoes
Stool
Bongo, coffee, don't mention that black man
The leather-coat was his where was she?
Could have been in the US navy
Flow beating air, table-top, shoulder slung
Shore leave, no sailors here
Cardboard, cardboard, cardboard, cardboard
Liquor slacks twisting
The cigarette was burning
The flat shoes, the flat shoes
The flat shoes bird, bird, bird, bird
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
Bird, bird, bird, bird, bird
I could have been in another nineteen-fifty
Bird, bird, bird
