My Friend The Chocolate Cake – John Cain Avenue lyrics

Album: Brood

In the houses by the railway line
All the people in my street
They're all tending to their gardens
They keep them all bright and neat
All bright and neat

We all have our own concerns
Down in our little worlds
We can't worry about the global things
Just those mundane and small, mundane and small

Take the walk down to the railway station
See the young mothers stand in line
On any Wednesday you can hear
The grim adventure tales go round
But I don't mind
No, I don't mind

Just living in our backstreet
We all talk about the sky
And how the leaves will fall down soon
We just watch the days go by and the winter sky

Yeah, that's what we all talk about
The neighbours
Mark and me
Nothing too important
Just how simple this can be
How can it be
