Hyde Park, Art on the Railings


I don't paint a blackbird
but a hunted desperate fox,
I hang a thought in your mind
about landlords and the Council Tax
Karl Marx and Bernard Shaw.
Hyde Park, Art on the Railings
Forgive my artistic failings! 
I'm just a park bench poet, aw!
A red robin on my ragged knee
Beautiful sunset over the sea
And a red-head waiting for me.




Hyde Park, Art on the Railings

I don't paint a blackbird
but a hunted desperate fox,
Hang a thought in your mind
about landlords and the Council Tax.
Hyde Park Speaker, what do you
Want to talk about, Karl Marx
Or Bernard Shaw?

I was not born in a Crystal Palace
I'm just a park bench poet, aw!
A red robin on my ragged knee.
Hyde Park, Art on the Railings
Forgive my artistic failings -
Beautiful sunset over the sea,
and a red-headed woman waiting for me.
