She still gets out
just to see and be seen.
“’swhat life’s about, innit?
Havin fun and livin’ it
up!” She goes towards the mirror,
armed with her best cover-up
and a steely will.
She hears a knock:
“I don’t mean to be mean
but you could use
a little something to make you look more young.”
He shuts the door. Right then, my
mockingbird flies by their windowsill.
My Mockingbird, tell me true:
why don’t anybody sing the blues like you?
Hey, Mockingbird, tell me true:
why don’t anybody sing the blues like you do?
She swipes again
The prim and proper cashier
shakes her head,
“Keeps gettin’ rejected.” So he
grabs his card, says “Never mind!”
And races out the door. The bell chime’s unimpressed.
A pack of smokes.
The prince of paupers lights up.
“Where to now?
What kind of toys can empty pockets buy?”
His head hangs down.
Right then, my
mockingbird flies past, and home to nest.
My Mockingbird, tell me true
why don’t anybody sing the blues like you?
Hey, Mockingbird, tell me true:
why don’t anybody sing the blues like you do?
WOW this album grew on me fast. My favorite track changes frequently. Step into the Sunshine is brilliantly sinister, Memory disappears beautiful and melancholy. Right now Rare Bird is an amazing unicorn chaser. jbclements

Worthy of being thrown into an 80s mix and almost fooling someone to think it was written back then sweatytyler
