Boss Trick

Sat down in The Crown, pushing suds around
Watching navvies mourn the 3.15 from Punchestown
A cloud of memory surrounds
Two wanderers from Woodberry Down

I felt like I was part of something
And for that, I'll say this
I've never been a part of something
So bliss to reminisce

King says at the bar you're coming down
The instant chemistry is calling
And it's live, just like you said, your sound
We stayed up with The Fall
Neighbours banging all four walls
New friends in the sprawl
The faces pushing past

I felt like I was part of something
And for that, I'll say this
I've never been a part of something
So bliss to reminisce

Twenty thousand streets beneath the stars
And they're all ours
We found magic in the parlance of the passing cars
Do you remember, crashing house parties in France
Watching girls who couldn't dance
Laugh at gendarmes in the aftermath?

I felt like I was part of something
And for that, I'll say this
I've never been a part of something
That was ever such bliss to reminisce

On ley-lines when we split the halves
The Despair Hippo, and Pat sat in his laser bath

They say all good things have to end
Like the dreams we had back then
Writing songs to pay the rent
Do you remember, every night was us and them
All the secrets that we'd burn through
In the rooms that we'd return to, my friend

I felt like we were part of something
And for that, I'll say this
I've never been a part of something
So bliss to reminisce

Take it away, Patrice...

Dogs are barking in the dark
At Richard in his Ipswich scarf

RIPeople's Club, T-shirt, Bossman, Russ and Monty
Cockney Baader-Meinhof, Johnny, Vic and Jean-Luc Ponty
Out to John and Joe, Cater, Nath, the burner phone
All back to Ronalds Road
The faces pushing past...

I felt like I was part of something
And for that, I'll say this
You'll always be a part of something
That is ever such bliss to reminisce
