Nice to Be Out

He asked me, "So where have you been?"

Let me think, now let me see

I stood once where Hitler's feet had stood

When he made his speech in Nuremberg in '38

He tried to build the perfect race

He said

"Black man ain't gonna run

Alongside our perfect sons."

It was Dallas to the library

The place they ended Kennedy

I stood where Oswald took his shot

In my opinion there's a bigger plot

Costners back into the left

The picket fence, the better bet

Paris came and Summer went

The tunnel's now a flower bed

The famous turf that made Geoff Hurst

The vodka stops to quench my thirst

Golden gate stroke Alcatraz

And the fat man failed to get us passes

Jimmy's corner in Raging Bull

De Niro's jokes and bottled pills

Elvis tales from Mr Woodward

Any Richard Burton if you could?

The tourists stare at tourist stops

One more picture, one more god

Another top up for a change

It makes you think, it makes you sane

Talking more about yourself

There's a mirror to have a check

Cheques are always passing through

Some depart but a lot come too

Restaurant talk of pick your teeth

You bite your tongue or chew your meat

Sleep to drink or drink to sleep

One more week and we will meet

We'll talk of what we haven't done

Since we departed back a month

We argue why we have to shout

All in all, it's nice to be out
