Late Afternoon, Early Evening

School ends
I've still got a few pence
I asked one of my friends
To meet me after school
Hi there
What have you done with your hair?
Oh you've only washed it
Well it's lovely anyway
How would you like to come with me
For coffee or a cup of tea?
We'll get two cups and
Share one pot between us
I think they might have seen us
The last time we were there
I'd like to take you to the movies
But I'm not earning
I'd like to take you to the
Bigger towns that you've been yearning for
And I will
It's gonna take a little time
But I'll be there for you
Half-five
Feeling like a half-life
Fleeing from a lecture
Aimed at everyone but me
You're there
What colour now is your hair?
The purple suits you better than the green
Yes I agree
How would you like to come with me
To go and see a new movie?
We'll buy the tickets now
And save some money
Of which I don't have any
Can you lend some to me?
I'd like to take you to the movies
But I'm not earning
I'd like to take you to the
Bigger towns that you've been yearning for
And I will
I'm never gonna tell a soul
Just do it all for you
Half-eight
Sitting in the cafe
Somewhere the cigarette smoke will not find us
If we hide
Coffee
Which doesn't taste like coffee
But what the hell it doesn't cost much more
Than Sixty P
It's here we come to meditate
In sober and in drunken state
It's here I swear how much I love and hate you
And how I'd love to take you
To the other side of town
I'd like to take you to the movies
But I'm not earning
I'd like to take you to the
Other towns that you've been yearning for
And I will
It's gonna take a little time
But I'll be there for
I'd like to take you on safari
To Kalahari
I'd like to take you down Niagara Falls
On Lake Ontario
And I will
I'm never gonna tell a soul
Just do it all for you
For you
For you
