lyrics

Let's ride out in an early September gale
We can catch the summer cloud-fleet
before they sail
Where the rosehips and hawthorn
Wait in the grey light before dawn
In the Bumper Book of Broken Dreams
for Boys

As lights come on in a terrace seen through rain
The buddleia flowers brush the passing train
Where Edwardiana meets the Major Arcana
In The Bumper Book of Broken Dreams for Boys
(She enjoys)
The Bumper Book of Broken Dreams for Boys

Standing at a party
Looking all pale and arty
Deep in discussion
Smoking Sobranie Black Russian

Let's walk through the town on an autumn afternoon
When the sun goes down like a Portuguese doubloon.
The season is turning
And all the bonfires are burning
In The Bumper Book of Broken Dreams for Boys
(She enjoys)
The Bumper Book of Broken Dreams
for Boys
