lyrics

The hypnotist brings memories of the paths I’ve trodden
Sing a song of lament, of times long forgotten

A house on Old Kent Road
Work all the hours that I am owed
Take the ladder and ride the snakes
Should I laugh at the same old mistakes?
Don’t wanna get closer

Castle, king, queen and pawn
Let’s wake together and watch the dawn
Triple points, with a double word score
Best not to think of the distant shore

Try to solve A lesser figure
In Jude the Obscure
Won’t you give me a clue?
Have you read this somewhere before? (4,2)*

The mysteries, the obscurities
The heavens will ring at the sign of my age

The hypnotist brings memories of the paths I’ve trodden
Sing a song of lament of times long forgotten

Been here before, but does it matter?
Years older. So much fatter
A life of regret is fool’s embrace
Be happy that we know our place
