BODAL (reworking of instrumental track, Bodales, by Silvio Vinci)

He wears his Sunday shoes on Tuesday
Takes the long way home
Reads the news without believing
Anything at all

Cheap perfume
A plastic chair
Someone laughing
Nobody there
Come on, come on
You know the game
Change your face
Forget your name

Bodal!
Where you gonna go?
Bodal!
Everybody knows
You can paint it black
You can paint it gold
But you can’t make new
What you’ve already sold
She keeps photographs of strangers
In a biscuit tin
Says she’s waiting for the summer
Summer never came

Half past four
The buses crawl
Someone wrote
“WE WANT IT ALL”

Across the wall
Come on, come on
Don’t be late
Everybody’s waiting
At the garden gate

Bodal!
Where you gonna go?
Bodal!
Everybody knows
Turn it up
Turn it down
You’re still the cleverest fool
In town

Nice jacket.
Wrong trousers.
Good haircut.
Terrible shoes.
(Oh, Bodal…)
One step forward
Two steps back
Union Jack
In a carrier bag
Friday night
Monday blues
Everybody wins
When there’s nothing to lose
Bodal!
Where you gonna go?
Bodal!
Nobody knows
Take your money
Take your coat
Miss the train
Miss the boat
Bodal…
Bodal…
What a beautiful mess
You’ve made.
