doggerel bank - palaces of fun lyrics
i want the palaces of fun
i’m going back to the ways of the city
where the sky is like a copper drum
the palaces of fun, you see the firmament blaze
the sunset’s like the sinking of a gong
see the pulsing vapour shines
over all those billboards and signs
i want the palaces of fun, i want the seedy cafes
the people in the town where i belong
i want the palaces of fun and the amus+m+nt arcades
electric doorways where thе crimson guitars strum
in palaces of fun, the double fuzz paradеs
and fiddles with the chains around their thumbs
the queer light in isolated rooms at night
lit by a television screen
somebody in a chair, accompanied by yells and guns and screams
the deafening loneliness in there
see the rainsoaked sidewalk at night
see the stars, the gutters full of lights
i want the palaces of fun, i want the clubland raids
the faces chewing gum, the ready maids
the ragdoll in the underpass
yellow tiles all round, above
awkward, people can’t get past
singing songs about love
i want the palaces of fun, the screaming hit parades
shake the ground, i like the sound of distortion
behind the windows
filled with sunbleached magazines
the bleak round+shouldered dreamers dreaming dreams
turning the pages, looking for love
give me the palaces of fun and make it loud, loud, loud
louder so i can’t hear what it says
chromium b+lls and a painted wh0re
bang in the plunger and flash up the score
cherry, cherry, cherry, lemon and the change cascades
if you want a fruitful life, that’s where it’s spun
i want the palaces of fun, come see the fire brigade
hosing down the pavement where a crumbled form is laid
behind the palaces of fun, among the crooning shades
in bedlam with a methylated bum
drown in clouds of laughter and leers
can’t you see the bearded lady’s tears?
i want the palaces of fun, give me the ace of spades
for when the head is numb, the smile won’t fade
