Tulip (Live At The Lyceum,United Kingdom/1975) - Kevin Coyne
Aged Casanova speaking to the tie dye
Slightly fat and nineteen years old
Who's lived a little lie
Way down in the darkness
Where the little glow stares
I can spot the average ones
I can tell by the hair
But you you shouldn't be here
Way down on your knees
You don't need the this and that
And this and that and this and that
You don't need this
Hey Tulip
Say Tulip
Well you're you're the strong one
Hey Tulip
Ow Tulip
Yours yours is the long one
Hey hey hey this must be
This must be your day
Some somebody there
They noticed
They noticed your face
They remember you from '62
When you wore your shoes
Your big shoes blue
And you had the kind of hair do
Nobody admired
You purchased a house and a horse
But you're getting much thinner
Who's watching the children at home
Who's making your dinner
Hey Tulip
Say Tulip
Well you're you're the strong one
Hey Tulip
Say Tulip
Well yours yours is the long one
A long one
Shake it one time
One time for him
You remember your auntie Margaret
And your big cousin Jim
They've been searching for you
But you're still way down
Down here
Just one more small scotch
One more beer
One more beer
Go leave go home
Back to Newcastle
Or to bradford crew somewhere
They don't want you
They don't want you
No
They don't want you down here
Hey Tulip
Say tulip
Well you're you're the strong one
Hey Tulip
Say tulip
Yours yours yours is the is the is the
Is the long one
