39Verse:
40and in the park at lunch
41theres no whinos on my favourite bench
42none of that drunk chatter none of that pissy stench
43and the 20 little piegeons with the gammy leg
44decide to dine from someone elses sandwich instead
45and theres something about the city today
46like all the colours conspire to overwhelm the grey
47and this close to the fire i can feel no cold
48but a rainbow halo around my soul
