Inside And Out

Released on "spot the pigeon e.p.", 1977.





Inside



Brother    seems they're letting him out next year

He's behaving himself, i hear

Governor conway says it will be fine

Just as long as he can tow the line



It's the same old story

But it says here "mum you're not to worry"

'cos some you lose and some you lose



At this party, he was on his own

All he did was say he'd take her home

But it seems they didn't go straight there

'cos on the porch, she told him,

"put your hand here"



Yes it's that same old story

They told her mum she's not to worry



Police	 "if what she says is so,

We'll never let him go!"



Him	     "never a word could be heard

Not even the sound of a bird

Singing it over again, telling a different story

Never the same as before

See the summer going out by the door"

Brother	 and now that you've paid for those lies

Get another disguise



"it's twenty years now since our kid came free

Oh i remember august '53

But it wasn't quite like they said

With that behind you, you can't plan ahead

Yes it's the same old story

They say you're free, but don't worry

What they said's not so

They'll never let you go!"



Him	      "never a word could be heard

Not even the sound of a bird

Singing it over again, telling a different story

Never the same as before

See the summer going out by the door"

Brother	  and now that you've paid for those lies

Get another disguise
