lyrics

My arrival at the car park
Was heralded by the horns
Of the boy racers, in their Golf GTIs
And their souped-up Peugeot 205s.

As I made my way in past the greeter,
An exceptionally camp young man
With a thin strip of a Kevin Rowland goatee
And wild, speedy eyes, I heard him say:

“Well I could eat something, but I don’t know what”
To his geeky-looking, overweight,
But nonetheless equally camp companion
In the lumberjack shirt.

As I made my way over to the drinks aisle
I chanced upon two stoners.
They were together, but not together,
If you know what I mean. These two stoners I’d seen

Not 10 minutes previously in the local Wetherspoons pub,
They were wandering aimlessly
Inside the converted cinema
As if in search of seats long-gone.

They were purchasing chocolate and crisps
In copious quantities. Totally unselfconsciously.
As for me, I was buying vermouth.

As I emerged back into the car park,
Those boy racers now one thousand strong,
And the Dexy’s-Midnight-Runners-frontman-look-alike
Still in a quandary about what to have for his tea
