lyrics

Lucy Goosey Blues

Flourescent pink and yellow green
Dashed across their face
Spirals, spots and lines that curve
Their cheek-bones all ablaze

Piercings, stubble, plats and bubbles
It’s Carnival at last
The people gather, the people revel
Together in my mother’s flat

We were just chilling in the kitchen
My bro and his friends too
Singing, “Honey rum lemon beer and gin!
I’ve got those Lucy Goosey Blues.”

We were just chilling in the kitchen
I wish you’d been there too
Singing, “Honey rum lemon beer and gin!
I’ve got those Juicy Lucy Goosey Blues.”

A cat scratched in the alley
The devil stretched and beat his back
The drizzle on a London street
The heat the carnival relaxed

Bobbies bopping on the doorstep
We smiled denials then danced some more
Spindle legs and triple jointed arms
You know you don’t need to be so cool

Chorus

T-Rex’s and Terradactals
Peer out from guarded doors
Their faces sneer at the youth who dare
To dance and sing and break their rules

Empty bottles line the tables
Randoms out on the floor,
The bass booms, the lullaby lulls
‘Sleep my baby’ after Carnival
