Evening Of Swing (Has Been Cancelled)
I fell asleep amongst the boulders strewn between
Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr
And I saw in a dream
Your charmless associates in a stretch limousine
They were plunging headlong into a ravine
And your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing
Came the behemoth, seven score and nine
To rescue all the children from their parents on the line
And they took them to a crash site
Unfurled a ball of twine
And tied a bunch of flowers around the speed limit sign
No more the Multiplex
Stood in its stead
Pleasure grounds with maze in the shape of a sled
Outside the Gielgud, a neon sign read:
'Equus On The Buses', starring Mr Ed
And your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing
And a plague fell upon the Retail Park
And a storm broke over Henman Hill
And the christening party arsehole
Who hitherto had blurred
My conception of man as nature's final word
Was fleeing from the lava
His SatNav pleading thus:
'I'm not from round here mate, you should have got the bus'
Enter then a real rat pack
Millions pouring in
And Ezekiel punched Dan Brown
And the nights are drawing in
And your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled
Your Evening of Swing
La Noche de Swing ha Sido Cancelada
Me quedé dormido entre las rocas esparcidas entre
Glyder Fach y Glyder Fawr
Y vi en un sueño
A tus asociados sin encanto en una limusina
Se estaban precipitando de cabeza hacia un barranco
Y tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing
Llegó el behemoth, siete docenas y nueve
Para rescatar a todos los niños de sus padres en la fila
Y los llevaron a un sitio de choque
Desplegaron una bola de estambre
Y ataron un ramo de flores al letrero de límite de velocidad
No más el Multiplex
Se erigió en su lugar
Terrenos de recreo con laberinto en forma de trineo
Fuera del Gielgud, un letrero de neón decía:
'Equus En Los Autobuses', protagonizada por Mr. Ed
Y tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing
Y una plaga cayó sobre el Parque Comercial
Y una tormenta estalló sobre la Colina de Henman
Y el imbécil de la fiesta de bautizo
Que hasta entonces había difuminado
Mi concepción del hombre como la última palabra de la naturaleza
Estaba huyendo de la lava
Su GPS suplicando así:
'No soy de por aquí, amigo, deberías haber tomado el autobús'
Entra entonces una verdadera pandilla de ratas
Millones entrando
Y Ezequiel golpeó a Dan Brown
Y las noches se están acortando
Y tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing ha sido cancelada
Tu Noche de Swing
