The High Llamas


Guess my business is okay
he's a lucky man
sold a bicycle today

Just to get around
three days off, what should I do
ride out to the sea
watch the lighthouse spinning 'round
yes it seems to be

Cute English square, 
market traders everywhere
coaches are arriving, 
Essex men are driving
cheap at the price, 
everybody seems so nice
teenagers are loading, 
market men exploding

There's a place where they all go
got a funny name
singing songs only they know
playing silly games
I know they're up to no good
even as we speak
plotting the great market coup
run us off the street

Cute English square, 
market traders everywhere
coaches are arriving, 
Essex men are driving
cheap at the price, 
everybody seems so nice
teenagers are loading,
market men exploding

Finish my beer, come on ladies over here
