lyrics

Ballina Manor Hotel
Terry Reilly paraglides above the Moy
And in to the function room
His silver equipment inside-outs into a blue tweed suit

Who called this meeting
Of amateur sleuths in mass mould seating?
The Big Rebrand Of The Salmon Weir
Makes no difference to me
I’m not up to the task
It’s very kind of you to ask
But I’m just making the tea

Conservationist chic
Polaroid sunglasses,
Riding the rapids
On their megazord components
Supermarionation secret police
In safari green
The poaching party scatters

Who said I was leaving?
I wouldn’t miss this for the world
The Big Rebrand Of The Salmon Weir
Makes no difference to me
With mid-century advertising
And I just make the tea

Man, I just pour the tea
Have you done the squinting Litmus?
Man, I just pour the tea
Not like I’m in the crop mark business
Man, I just pour the tea
You’ve got to have your critics
Man, I just pour the tea
In Ballina Manor Hotel
