Cobblestones

The warm soothing taste of a coffee break 
Bright and early in the morning 
The welcoming glance from one in a million 
I fought, I lost, I’m falling  

The smell of spice in the roaming air 
And a voice that’s sweetly calling 

Straighten your back 
I want my cobblestones back 
In the days of longer morning  

You don’t have to be such an arse 
To get people to listen while you’re talking 
But I don’t have the time to be very kind  
So you can fuck off and keep on walking 
You’ve said enough  
More than you should  
And warned of times forgotten 

Straighten your back 
I want my cobblestones back 
In the days of longer morning  

Body’s don’t move and neither do dreams 
Unless they’re told they have to 
There may be loads but if you do what you’re told 
There’ll be time for jokes and laughter 

A couple of prays will do you good 
You don’t have to believe them after 

Straighten your back 
I want my cobblestones back 
In the days of longer morning  

There are many talented folks around there 
But remember why you’re here 
All you are and all you want is all of yours to bare 
Side street hush  
Main road rush  
You can stand out among the rest 

If you  
Straighten your back 
I want my cobblestones back 
In the days of longer morning  

Straighten your back 
I want my cobblestones back 
In the days of longer morning
