Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 280

Today is Wednesday, the 28th of February.

In my old days, the white mouse said after she and her twenty-seven cousins scared 
away the elephants, the month of February used to have twenty-eight days.
The twenty-eighth day used to be the last day of February.
Why is it suddenly the penultimate day?
What is wrong in this world?

Don't worry, squeaked her cousins. Take our hands and waltz.

And they danced.

"Bromford Waltz"

I've been sitting here patiently,
I've been talking to myself
Trying to shake that sinking feeling,
Wishing I was somebody else

And I know it's not easy,
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me,
But that's not what I've heard

Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford
Well it's got to be that way
Tonight in Bromford

Maybe I'll get right out of here,
All the way back to Turnpike Lane
Find me a girl who can calm me right down,
It's been such a fucked up year

And I know it's not easy,
When you don't get what you deserve
You can say that you love me,
But that's not what I've heard

Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford
Well it's got to be that way
Tonight in Bromford

Maybe I'll get myself together,
Or fall to pieces and run back home
Get me a ticket for an airplane,
I'm tired of being alone

I was on Mulholland Drive with the radio on,
They played Augustus Pablo and the Kings of Leon

We sing, we know it's not easy,
When you don't get what you deserve
And you can say that you love me,
But that's not what I've heard

Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford
Well it's got to be that way
Tonight in Bromford

I think of you,
How we own each other
I think of you,
Yeah we own each other
Own each other
Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford
Tonight in Bromford

Mars and the U.S.A.
In fall, and the Milky Way
It's got to be that way
Kinski's on Broadway
Home a million miles away, away, away

You've met your match
Stars catch your eyes
You've tried I'll bet
You've met your match
You burn like fire
I hide your love
You trust your nerve
You burn like fire
I steal I lie
I tried the thrill
You build me up
You steal you lie
And love me still
Like me you tried
You've cried I'll bet
You've met your match
