Originally released in 1995 on ‘Bleeding Sketches’ [WPTC3/WPTCD13]

lyrics

DURHAM

Cobbled webs of my thoughts
Hang around your lanes
A brass band nestles in my head
Cosy as a bedbug
I’m reading from a balcony
Poems of revolution
It’s Gala Day and the words are lost
In the coal-dust of your lungs

Your dark satanic brooding Gaol
Throws a blanket over blankness
A grim era of second-hand visions
Aches like a scab in a cell
And rowing a punt up your Bishop’s arse
A shaft of sunlight on the river
Strikes me only as true
Shining into the eyes of all the prisoners
Swinging from Cathedral bells

Old Durham Town you imprison me
Like a scream in a Salvation Army song
Release me soon
And someone get ready to hug me

(lyrics: Keith Armstrong / music: Glenn Miller)
