ALARM OF ST PAULS

The alarm of St Paul’s
London 6am
Like a monster sleeping
Gently turning in its duvet
I wonder what it dreams
The rumble of steel birds flying overhead
Or the spare-a-smoke black guy
You’re all trying not to provoke
Or the taut 50-something
Who’s exercising his right to sprint closer to a stroke
Oh what a sight, whilst you were sleeping

It ain’t 9 to 5, it’s all day long
Don’t catch a breath, there’s work here to be done
Oh what a sight whilst you were sleeping

On an imperfect pass
The alarm of St Paul’s
When you’re reaching for strength
But you always pick the fool
And all the miscarried babes surf the fleet river bends
I’ve been giving them verses to remind you their names
Oh how we sing whilst you are sleeping

It ain’t 9 to 5, it’s all day long
Don’t catch a breath, there’s work here to be done
Oh what a sight whilst you were sleeping
