That leads to the Haywain
And you'll never see good trains again.
In late 60s, my daddy said to me,

Now they roam the city.
Can these people not understand
The devil makes work for idle hands
M5 6-7 pm
The devil makes work for idle hands.
M5 to the country straight ahead
It's stuffed to the gills with crusty brown bread
Can they not understand
there's nothing worse than a bored man?
M5, 6-7 PM
