Leave the Capitol

The tables covered in beer

Showbiz whines, minute detail

It's a hand on the shoulder in Leicester Square

It's Vaudeville pub back room dusty pictures of white-frocked girls and music teachers

The bed's too clean

Water's poisonous for the system

Then you know in your brain

Leave the capitol!

Exit this Roman shell!

Then you know you must leave the capitol

Straight home, straight home, straight home

One room, one room

Then you know in your brain

You know in your brain

Leave the capitol!

Exit this Roman shell!

Then you know you must leave the capitol

Straight home, straight home, straight home

One room

It's Hogarth prints, mucky yellow prints

Eleven one one one

Then you know in your brain

You know in your brain

Leave the capitol!

I live with cancer death wife!

Then you know you must leave the capitol

(Straight home, straight home, straight home)

It will not drag me down

I will leave this ten times town

I will leave this fucking dump

(One room, one room)

Hotel maids smile in unison

Then you know in your brain

You know in your brain

Leave the capitol!

Exit this Roman shell!

Then you know you must leave the capitol

I laughed at the great god Pan

I didnae, I didnae

I laughed at the great god Pan

I didnae, I didnae

I didnae, I didnae, I didnae

I didnae, I didnae

I didnae, I didnae

Leave the capitol!

Exit this Roman shell!

Then you know you must leave the capitol

Pan resides in Welsh green masquerades

On Welsh cat caravans

But the monty

Hides in curtains

Grey blackish cream

All the paintings you recall

All the side-stepped cars

All the brutish laughs

From the flat and the wild dog downstairs
