Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 55

Today is Thursday, the 18th of April 2019.

This Thursday is green for some non-ecological reason. Green is the colour of my true love's hair in the morning when we rise. Green is the colour of the Hunter. Green is the Colour of the Irish. Green is the colour of fresh mould in the evening light.

Please, keep my mind from wandering.


"Panic In Bromford"

Ooh

He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van
Kept his gun in quiet seclusion, such a humble man
The only survivor of the National People's Gang
Panic in Bromford, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Bromford


He laughed at accidental sirens that broke the evening gloom
The police had warned of repercussions, they followed none too soon
A trickle of strangers were all that were left alive
Panic in Bromford, I asked for an autograph
He wanted to stay home, I wish someone would phone
Panic in Bromford

Putting on some clothes, I made my way to school
I found my teacher crouching in his overalls
I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine
And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights

Having scored a trillion dollars, made a run back home
Found him slumped across the table, a gun and me alone
I ran to the window, looked for a plane or two
Panic in Bromford, he'd left me an autograph
"Let me collect dust," I wish someone would phone
Panic in Bromford
Panic in Bromford
Panic in Bromford

Ow
