Vale of Evesham - Toyah

I can feel summer at last from the heat

In the red-brick city

The evening light pulls a veil of linen

Over the night time

Life’s a gas

Will I walk there again

In the sleeping Vale of Evesham

Lies a shady town

In market garden land

The abbey, demonic and provoking

I have laid across it’s stones

The back street pub where Bowie sang

«Is there life on Mars»

While the boys in the back room pumped

Heroin into their veins (oh 73)

The girls, my friends

Determined not to succeed

Pregnant by unknown fathers by fourteen

Mocked me my ambition

The tramp we thought we killed

Had us running scared deeper into night

From fight to fight

The transport cafe from which we’d steal

Our golden dreams

So few survived and those who have, have disappeared

Just flowers on their graves

Born with broken hearts yes

Thank you world for my crucufied icons

Lovers of the impossible dream

T. V. 's suicides, mass sacrifice

We’re just buzzing in the hive

Born with broken hearts
