Versuri Little Palaces
In Chocolate Town all the trains are painted
brown
On the silver paper of the wrapper
There's a dapper little man
And he wears a wax moustache
That he twists with nicotine fingers
As he drops his cigarette ash
And someone comes and sweeps it up
And then he doffs his cap
And there's a rat in someone's bedroom
And they're shutting someone's trap
And they'll soon be pulling down the little
palaces
And the doors swing back and forward, from the
past into the present
And the bedside crucifixion turns from wood to
phosphorescent.
And they're moving problem families from the
South up to the North,
Mother's crying over some soft soap opera
divorce,
And you say you didn't do it, but you know you
did of course,
And they'll soon be pulling down the little
palaces.
It's like shouting in a matchbox, filled with
plasterboard and hope,
Like a picture of Prince William in the arms of
John the Pope.
There's a world of good intentions, and pity in
their eyes,
The sedated homes of England, are theirs to
vandalize.
So you knock the kids about a bit, because
they've got your name,
And you knock the kids about a bit, until they
feel the same.
And they feel like knocking down the little
palaces.
You're the twinkle in your daddy's eye, a name
you spray and scribble,
You made the girls all turn their heads, and in
turn they made you miserable.
To be the heir apparent, to the kingdom of the
invisible.
So you knock the kids about a bit, because
they've got your name,
And you knock the kids about a bit, until they
feel the same.
And they feel like knocking down the little
palaces.
