The Times — Theres A Cloud Over Liverpool

The factory siren ends another day Better now I've closed the flower shop The kids are outside shouting and playing Cowboys and indiands on the cobbled lane My cousin Frankie's walking Mavis home They've been engaged for the last six months I'm sure it's put her in the family way But cousin Frank assures me that she's just overweight When I get home and my tea's not made I moan at my mum cos I wanna go out I wanna go out cos I just got paid The beginning of the weekend, it's all I care about 8 o'clock and evеrybody's going out Mum and dad are going down the pub Cos sister Sally boyfriеnd's come round tonight And my brother and his mates have gone down the club Ba da ba ba Ba dup ba bababa Saturday morning and I go round Dave's To ask him what he wants to do He says Liverpool're at home against West Brom today So we trot out to Westfield to see the match I'm out with my girl on saturday night And we're sitting in the pub drinking beers and eating pies But all's not well and I think there'll be a fight Cos the bloke with the Drape keeps giving me shifty eyes I walk her home cos it's not very far She kisses me cheek and she says "too-rah!" "Can't I come in?", "No, it's too late." So I walk home feeling really lonely There's a cloud over Liverpool (repeat to fade)
