lyrics

Sitting upstairs on
The One-One-Two
It’s better on the top deck
You get a clearer view
Going to treat myself (going to Swansea on a daytrip)
Going to treat myself (going to Swansea on a daytrip)
To the latest Swell Maps
And some Pere Ubu

When my friends are on a spree
They prefer to go to HMV
Because they leave the records in the sleeve
It makes them easier to thieve

Heading out of town
Past The Avenue
There’s Jefferson Chemicals
And Bowden’s too
Across Loughor Bridge (going to Swansea on a daytrip)
We’ll be in Swansea soon (going to Swansea on a daytrip)
Going to get some Subway Sect
Maybe some Buzzcocks, too

It’s empty upstairs on the bus
There are only three of us
It’s just me and two old men
They are deep in conversation

One of the old men said
‘This place was never quite the same
After the English
After the English came’.
His companion shook his head
‘Explain yourself’, he gruffly said.
‘Okay, allow me to
Allow me to elucidate’.

‘If colonization
Were not enough
Outlawing the language
And all that other stuff
If colonization (going to Swansea on a daytrip)
Were not enough (going to Swansea on a daytrip)
Before the English came here,
There was no dandruff’.

‘Tell me, have you lost your mind?’
‘Not at all. I’ll think you’ll find
There’s no word for it in the Welsh tongue,
Therefore, the whole concept is alien’.
