SOMERSTOWN SOMERSTOWN

Somerstown Somerstown
where a great big metal worm
sits astride the motorway

Somerstown Somerstown
where the giant glass eye
turns into a health centre

Somerstown Somerstown
where it's impossible to cross the road
without being knocked over

Somerstown Somerstown
where during the day
there's never anyone around

Somerstown Somerstown
where my solicitor's offices
contradict the tower blocks

Somerstown Somerstown
so near the magistrate's courts
so far from the sea

Somerstown Somerstown
where lonely bus stops
sit like stranded sheep

Somerstown Somerstown
in the heart of the city
cars are the stars, the stars are cars
