Deckchair Collapsed

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] This deckchair collapsed This maybe or perhaps The route that sadness maps Through those long and awkward gaps Those broken fairy wings Those tangled puppet strings Those roundabouts or swings The heartache indecision brings [Chorus] Life, my girl, will take away that optimistic skip Stick its big foot out and try deliberately to trip Substitute young hope with arthritic hip Take your salad days and attach them to a drip [Verse 2] That bannister we slide The wild horse we ride That throws from side to side The rough, the smooth, yet to decide The cowardly, the bold The fireworks they hold The overkill, the undersold Already told, yet to unfold [Chorus] Life, my girl, will take away that optimistic skip Stick its big foot out and try deliberately to trip Substitute young hope with arthritic hip Take your salad days and attach them to a drip [Verse 3] That fluent Double Dutch That feeling out of touch That nonsense or nonsuch Not quite enough or just too much [Instrumental] [Chorus] Life, my girl, will take away that optimistic skip Stick its big foot out and try deliberately to trip Substitute young hope with arthritic hip Take your salad days and attach them to a drip [Outro] This deck chair collapsed...
