lyrics

I made a new friend, got high hopes
His name is Paul he's 68
He cleans the flats where I post
We talk a little every day
He so impeccably wastes my time
Tiny moments can tally high
I walk Four Acres to find out some things he likes

I've not seen Paul in over a month
He had some problems with his back
He'd just bought tickets for Jethro Tull
A rearranged date, over in Bath
I'm sick of wasting my own time
I fear he'll never make that show
It's futile counting tallies I've scribed
I fear I'll never know
I walk four acres to find Paul, but no dice

In the two weeks I hadn't seen Ian,
He'd had as many heart attacks
He said "if I feel a 3rd one coming i'll just go and die inside my flat"
We talked a while,
We usually don't
I smile with my eyes
And say "I'll see you soon"

December bare calves
Daren't notice the grey
Pull up their socks
Gulp the dismay
Talk to Ians
Talk to Pauls
Tally tiny moments on cranium walls

I made a new friend, got high hopes
His name is Paul he's 68
He cleans the flats where I post
We talk a little every day
He so impeccably wastes my time
Our tiny moments will tally high
