Dandy at the End of the World - Les Goolies

from You Do it I Can't Be Bothered by Various Artists (The Songs of Tom Smith)

/

about

All dressed up and finally somewhere to go.

lyrics

Everyday I take a bus to the Evacuation Centre
I wear my top hat, twirl my cane, greet the dispossessed there
The finest threads distinguish me from the drab and the ordinary
Money is a grubby business but leisure is my calling


Pre-Chorus
I’m a dandy at the end of the world

I’m ready for the water rations, my bucket has pride of place
It’s simple and it’s elegant, I fetch it home with grace
I’m stocking well up on cosmetics, prepare for supplies to finish
I parade in front of ruffians and blow the soldiers kisses

CHORUS
I’m a dandy at the end of the world
I was born to play this part
I’d be seen dead nowhere else
I’m a superhero dressed for the part

Come on down to the epicentre now the aftershock has settled
My sweet scent wafts right through for the volunteers assembled
I have no status or profession, trust me I believe in nothing
There’s always beauty to be found, especially in destruction

CHORUS
