pat orchard – for all and none lyrics

Loading...

watching the pin+stripes standing in their queues
long faces, brief+cases, patent+leather shoes
they all curl their papers like batons in a race
and on demand hand their tickets to hitler at the gate

and the train is pulling in
faces staring out at the faces staring in
while every man stands silent only walkmen hiss
and everyday is different yet every days like this

and i have played beneath your streets
to the occasional sound of silver
and the constant drum of feet
i have played the sunken miles
stared on by those models
with their poster+perfect smiles
i have played for all and none
and i have sung to the drunks
dancing in the cold
who say ‘come on son play us one we know’

well the rush hour is over the platforms are empty
i take the money from my hat, it’s not much but that is plenty
so i’m waiting for the night+bus in london’s’ freezing rain
just me + and nelson again
and i have played beneath your streets
the only still face in a river full of dreams
i have played to a million girls
who only paint their eyes for a better prize then me
i have played for all and none
and i have sung to the lost, the lonely and the old
i’ve sung to the young+ run+a+ways from home
and i’ve sung to those drunks
still dancing in the cold
who say ‘come on son play us one we know’
and i’ve sung
for you
for all
and none
