jez lowe and the bad pennies - kid canute lyrics

Loading...

well that’s some pointed shoe, suede and shaded blue
well that’s some blackleg, sprayed on drainpipe tight
well that’s some jacket to thigh, that’s some bootlace tie
it’s kid canute, he’s out to rock this town tonight

they all say no, those times are gone now
they all say no, well it’s a brand new day
they all say no, time marches on now
ah kid canute, you can’t keep change’s waves at bay

what his dad said yesterday, now his children say
dress that way, i wouldn’t be seen dead
but it’s just the clothes he’s worn for 30 years or more
he’s 52 but it’s still ’56 in his head

(chorus)

there was a time he ran in a greased up gang
and on the corner hang, as those black and white days rolled by
but there always came a day to wash that grease away
but kid canute he’s always kept that quiff piled high

(chorus)

now there’s no swirling frocks, no white ankle+socks
and all the pony+tails, they’re hanging down on men
but as he staggers home with one defiant comb
he sweeps his hair back and he lives those times again
(chorus)

no kid canute, you can’t keep change’s waves away
