gone before you got there

oxford street in autumn

wandering around 

after dark

lost in the crowds

lost in thought

deafened by the loud

noises, noises that taught
nuffink to nobody
--------vacuums///////empty vessels
///human beings with low levels---
of immaterial understanding-------
yeah us

oxford street in autumn

i saw you then, 

no I didn't 

I saw you then, 

no I didn't

----------------------------------------gone before you got there------------------------------------

nah, it's too late to go back

but it's too early to go forward

so I'll just stay right here
                                                 
                                               right where
I am

-------------------oxford street in autumn--------

the arabs they bought them

everything, ever material thing

that ever came into existence

they lost sight 

                                          of what it means to be in existence

and yeah I'd rather be a hippy, seeking

than a plastic male or female doll reeking

of sweet sickly perfume
------don't assume,
 don't make assumptions
-for you came away to soon---
to realise anything......

------------------------gone, before you got there------------
