Glenn
Miller
David Brown and Dave Lewis
Last night I saw Glenn Miller
Outside a theatre
With a cigarette that’s burned for fifty years
The plane’s still not arrived
But the people sit inside
Just waiting for him not to appear
Tomorrow is a piano
That might fall on your head
You can’t enjoy the view today
When you’re hanging by a thread
It’s easier to live the now
When it’s last week instead
So, what if ol’ Glenn
Should turn up again
Would he recognise the place?
Hair cropped to the roots
Girls in calf length Army boots
Small rimmed spectacles on every face
Tomorrow is a piano
That might fall on your head
You can’t enjoy the view today
When you’re hanging by a thread
It’s easier to live the now
When it’s last week instead |
