Abandoned Luncheonette - previously unreleased, Live at the New Victoria Theatre, London, October 3, 1975

Thank you, yeah
Now this song starts quite so change your claps to finger snaps please
That's it, (on the backbeat) dynamics that's it (oh)

They sat in an Abandoned Luncheonette
Sipping imaginary Cola
And drawing faces in the tabletop dust
Drawing in the dust in the dust
Ha ha, his voice was rusty
From years as a Sergeant on this man's army
He was old and crusty yeah

Ooh, she was twenty when the diner was a baby
He was the dishwasher
And he was busy in the back
His hands covered with gravy whoa
Hair black and wavy
Brilliantine slick, a pot cleaning dandy
So he was young and randy

Day to day, today, today
When they were old, their lives wasted away
Month to month, to year, to year
They all run together, they all run together
Time measured by the peeling of paint
On the luncheonette wall

Oh, they all sat together in the empty diner
Filled with cracked china
Old news was blowing across the filthy floor
And the sign on the door read, the sign on the door read
'This way out', that's all it read
That's all it read
Ohh that's all it read, ooh

Day to day, today, today
Then they were old, their life wasted away
Month to month, to year, to year
To month, to month, to month, to year, to year, year

A day to day, (month to month)
A day to day (year to year)
Day to day (month to month)
A day to day (year to year)

A day to day, (month to month)
A day to day (year to year)
Day to day (month to month)
Day to day (year to year)
A day to day

Thank you
Alright
