Theme from 'Likely Stories'

Round heads and covered ears

Adult themes and childhood fears

Unworthy winners and bad losers

All-night cafes and self-abusers

A baby in a jar

An old man in a car

A flame that beneath this room

A cow jumped over the moon

And other likely stories

Soft electric care

The girl was never really there

There wasn't a woman who swallowed the cat

Or do you think of that

Children's games and lovers' tiffs

Home truths and urban myths

A half-forgotten nursery rhyme

From a different place and time

And other likely stories
