[00:00.00]
[00:17.85]My Saturday job pays six and six down
[00:25.62]A copy boy at the Chronicle
[00:30.59]Five cigarettes and two silver half crowns
[00:38.99]Meeting Vince at Mark Toney's in town
[00:45.11]Boy, do we get around
[00:49.40]Basil sits there on the table for subs
[01:01.30]But not a part of the Bri-nylon club
[01:06.67]Ancient blue sweater, too old for the job
[01:14.21]Bored out of his mind
[01:17.11]With the Colins and Bobs
[01:19.59]I'm a jack and a lad
[01:23.89]And I'm up for the world
[01:28.88]And I've kissed a Gateshead girl
[01:36.33]He calls for a copy boy, grumpy as hell
[01:47.85]Poets have to eat as well
[01:53.32]What he wouldn't give just to walk out today
[02:00.92]To have time to think about time
[02:07.10]And young love thrown away
[02:11.51]I'm a jack and a lad
[02:16.10]And I'm up for the world
[02:20.43]And I've kissed a Gateshead girl
[02:28.89]Starlings swarming
[02:36.10]A cloud over Grainger Street
[02:42.61]Over the black church
[02:47.76]Over the Black Gate
[02:52.78]And the shadowy Keep
[02:57.23]He peers through his wire rims
[03:20.90]At the fish and chip words
[03:24.97]He's supposed to dish up and forget
[03:29.54]His drudgery now has become slightly blurred
[03:36.57]By one of his Players untipped cigarettes
[03:42.44]Bury all joy
[03:49.21]Put the poems in sacks
[03:52.57]And bury me here with the hacks
[04:00.18]In the summer the fair
[04:13.43]Will stretch over the Moor
[04:16.36]Lovers will lie and make out in the park
[04:22.34]Basil puts on his old duffel and scarf
[04:29.83]And goes out into the dark
