SLACK MAGIC
Well I parked my car at Taylor Square
Despite it being near impossible to fit into a
spot there
And I chipped a little bit of paint
From the car behind me
I was nervous I was running late
And we got on a roll cracking funnies
Being generally unkind
But before we knew what hit us
Time had bolted we were running
Chasing minutes down the street
With you leading
Me not far behind
Then we crept into that cinema
Geoffrey Rush was playing an idiot savant
I felt breathless alert
And that feeling turned to solid air
Then it put it’s shackles around me
And I felt my body turn to dirt
Like being woken from a dream
Where everything is rosy
Just as you’d idealised it to be
And people always told me
‘Nothing in this world can ever
come for free’
But I thought I’d found a loophole
It couldn’t possibly apply
Not to you or me
To you or me
To you or me
To you or me
And you said on the way home
“Well here is good enough
Just drop me at the curb”
But your silence cut me like a knife
I knew something wasn’t right
You were disappearing down the road
I felt like I had seen a ghost
So I got back to Taylor Square
Found that car proceeded to write a note
I said “Hey I’m just so sorry
Tell me how much will it cost?
Just give me a quote
Give me a quote
Give me a quote
Give me a quote”
And in the end I guess that it was nothing
At least I never heard from them
It was like some kind of slack magic
Some reoccurring dream
That I awake from now and then
That I awake from now and then
