Earlies Lyrics - In The Music - Trash Can Sinatras

cakebrick road in summer 1981, we shared a house and garden 

at the height of all the bombing, on the run in busy, hazy london 

through t-shirt breezes walking home from work 

county kilburn sun 

weekends we'd just wash away the dirt of busy, hazy london 

the night grew cold, the thames is old 

found that manners count for nothing and it took 

a welshman in his forties 

guinness elbows rest upon a tabletop 

the two of us on earlies 

three feet of snow fell on the walnut road 

two feet trudged 

round the corner came the sound of bad dreams 

the flame is old. the thames is cold. 

cakebrick road in summer 1981, we left a house and garden 

on the corner boys, best of friends? 

on the corner boys 

both of us on earlies 

two of us on earlies
