Paul Heaton - Deckchair Collapsed lyrics

This deck chair collapsed This maybe or perhaps The route that sadness maps Through those long and awkward gaps Those broken fairy wings Those tangled puppet strings Those roundabouts or swings The heartache indecision brings Life - my girl will take away that optimistic skip Stick its big foot out and try deliberately to trip Substitute young hope with arthritic hip Take your salad days and attach them to a drip That bannister we slide The wild horse we ride That throws from side to side The rough, smooth, yet to decide The cowardly, the bold The fireworks they hold The overk**, the undersold Already told, yet to unfold Life - my girl will take away that optimistic skip Stick its big foot out and try deliberately to trip Substitute young hope with arthritic hip Take your salad days and attach them to a drip That fluent Double Dutch That feeling out of touch That non-sense or non such Not quite enough or just too much Life - my girl will take away that optimistic skip Stick its big foot out and try deliberately to trip Substitute young hope with arthritic hip Take your salad days and attach them to a drip This deck chair collapsed
