Tidy Homes

from Graduation Night by Laurie Shaw

lyrics

SAFFI’S ON HER WAY
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER IMPROMPTU PARTY
KATIE TAKES THE PHOTOGRAPHS
THEN TOM LAMINATES THE FAKE I.D.’S

STILL IS THE EVE
IS THAT THE PORT YOU SWIPED
FROM YOUR MOTHER’S CABINET?
SHE TAKES IT NEAT
SHE’LL DEFO NOTICE THAT IT’S GONE
AND WHAT A TIDY HOME!

THERE’S A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY
(OH YEAH RIGHT)
OF A BLACK OUT TONIGHT
THERE’S A STORM FORECAST
(YEAH WHO SAYS?)
WELL WE’LL JUST HAVE TO GET DRUNK IN THE DARK
(SOUNDS LIKE A PARTY)
HUDDLED ON THE SMALL SETTEE
(YOU GO THERE AND I GO HERE)

STILL IS THE EVE
SAFFI’S HERE
AND NOW MY HEART IS BEATING FAST
WITH TWO LEFT FEET
SHE KICKS HER SHOES IN THE VESTIBULE
AND SHE’S DANCING IN THE HALL

WITH THE PAPER BUNTING BLOWING
THE BACK DOOR’S OPEN
TOMMY’S GONE FOR A SMOKE
SOMEONE GET THIS GIRL A JAMESON AND COKE
AND KATIE IS SAYING THAT YOU GOT WITH ADRIAN
OR WAS IT JUST PRETEND
TO SWERVE GETTING ASKED BY SOMEONE TO DANCE?
