xtc - shiny cage lyrics

hiding faces turning pages
still they read and read
double deckers full of smokers
look who's gone to seed
well the sun's getting higher
think i'll take a flyer
the thought of it's causing me pain
ooh!
talk a walk under the subway
see an old school chum
window shopping for a short while
then we'll have some fun
well the shops closing early
everywhere's deserted
hello and down comes the rain
oooh!
we'll do the town tonight
i know some girls then stop off for a bite
no strings to tie my kite
well living for the night
no way to spend a life ooh!
