XTC LYRICS - Shiny Cage

"Shiny Cage"



Hiding faces turning pages

Still they read and read

Double deckers full of smokers

Look who's gone to seed

Well the sun's getting higher

Think I'll take a flyer

The thought of it's causing me pain

Ooh!

Talk a walk under the subway

See an old school chum

Window shopping for a short while

Then we'll have some fun

Well the shops closing early

Everywhere's deserted

Hello and down comes the rain

Oooh!

We'll do the town tonight

I know some girls then stop off for a bite

No strings to tie my kite

Well living for the night

No way to spend a life Ooh!
