Graham Greene Lyrics by John Cale

Graham Greene Lyrics

    You're having tea with graham greene
    In a colored costume of your choice
    And you'll be held in high esteem
    If you're seen in between
    Stiffly holding umbrellas
    Catching the fellows making the toast
    To the civil servant carruthers
    Making the others worser than most

    You're making small talk now with the queen
    And the elegant ladies in waiting
    You're very nervous they can all tell
    Pretty well they can tell
    So save yourselves for the hounds of hell
    They can have you all to themselves
    Since the fashion now is to give away
    All the things you love so well

    Welcome back to chipping and sodbury
    You can have another chance
    It must all seem like second nature
    Chopping down the people where they stand
    According to the latest score
    Mr. enoch powell is falling star
    So in future please bear in mind
    Don't see clear don't see far
    When the average social director
    Mistook a passenger for the conductor
    So shocking see the old church of e
    Looking down on you and me
