WHEN THE EVENING SUN GOES DOWN - MORE FROM CAMMELL LAIRD SOCIAL CLUB

I shout all my obscenities from steeples,

but please dont label me a madman,

I'm off to see the Bootleg Beatles,

as the bootleg Mark Chapman,  - (my favorite line)

Cafe bars, idiots and pidgeons,

there's far too many in this town,

so me and the ombudsman,

are gonna do what we can,

when the evening sun goes down.

Yes, some of my pull-overs are roll-necked,

It kind of breaks up the ennui,

But your experimental side project,

Must have put 10 years on me,

Opposite the Bannister and Shamrock,

Which used to be the Rose and Crown,

I like to play Pat Boone,

On the county bassoon,

When the evening sun goes down,

etc

There are questions in corners of my mind that lurk,

Like How do the road gritters get to work?

Answer me that, and you could win a cruise,

And here's Judy Tzuke to take us up to the news,

Are these my ultimate Pajamas,

Is this my final dressing gown,

I'm sending on this rhyme,

deep in injury time,

When the evening sun goes down,

etc
