Call it a Day Lyrics by Kid Creole and The Coconuts

Kid Creole Redux

0

[Verse 1]
Long time ago
I could walk down the road
There’d be laughter on every corner
And banter and table tournaments
You couldn’t find
Any place, any time
That was better at true conviviality
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But now
Nobody talks to you anymore
There’s a dog and a padlock for every door
What’s it for?
[Chorus]
Call it a day
Very soon, anyway, I’ll be gone
[Verse 2]
There was a time
When the food for the mind
Came from speakers philosophising
And preachers a proselytising
Oh those were the days
Of such passion and rage
A cornucopia of individuality
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But now
Faces are grim and the streets are bare
Seems that all the dissenters have disappeared
Very queer!
[Chorus]
Call it a day
Very soon, anyway, I’ll be gone
[Bridge]
I don’t want to stay here anymore
I don’t have to play to know the score
What the mind conceals
The heart reveals after all
[Verse 3]
Long time ago
There were fairs, there were shows
There were tourists with lots of money
And business was always stunning
And you couldn’t find
Anywhere, any time
A finer symbol of stabilised economy
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But now
Though all the markets are open still
All the money belongs to that imbecile
On the hill!
[Chorus]
Call it a day
Very soon, anyway, I’ll be gone
[Bridge]
I don’t want to stay here anymore
(Spurning the thought of it all)
I don’t think it’s safe to know the score
(Burned and concerned to the core)
What the mind conceals (nevermore)
The heart reveals after all (nevermore)
[Chorus]
Call it a day
Very soon, anyway, I’ll be gone
[Chorus]
Call it a day
Anyhow, anyway, I’ll be gone
