When I listen to Tchaikovsky's Barcarolle ...

Paul's gone over to The Times - 

There are always copies of Practical Caravan and Carp World for his clients to read - 

But today there's a copy of The Times on the counter - 

Paul's cutting a gaffer's rug with his murderous scissors - 

The radio's singing One moment in time - 

You know what I mean - 

I wouldn't put money on it - 

Paul's laughing, his knowing rasping laugh - 

I remember the film I saw at The Rex last night - 

Now, whenever I hear Tchaikovsky's Barcarolle my eyes will brim with tears - 

Paul's calling me over to the chair - 

Its 10.56 - 

What ever I tell him, Paul cuts my hair just the same - 

10.56
