MRS JOHNSTONE
THE AIR IS SO PURE
YOU GET DRUNK JUST BY BREATHING,
AND THE WASHING STAYS CLEAN ON THE LINE.
WHERE THERE S SPACE FOR THE

JUST TO REACH THE FAR SIDE
COME ON SAMMY MICKEY, NOW YOU VE ALL GORRA HELP EM

MRS JOHNSTONE

CHEST OF DRAWERS THAT NEVER CLOSE.
THE TWO LEGGED CHAIR, THE CARPET SO BARE.
YOU WOULDN T SEE IT IF IT WASN T FOR THE HOLES.
NOW THAT WE RE MOVIN

LET S JUST WASH OUR HANDS OF THIS LOT
FOR IT S NO LONGER FITTING, FOR ME TO BE SITTING
ON A SOFA, I KNOW FOR A FACT WAS KNOCKED OFF
POLICEMAN

AN GO DRIVIN OUT TO THE SANDS.
LINDA

MRS JOHNSTONE

A GENTLEMAN FRIEND,

TO THE LOCAL BANDS
WE LL HAVE A FRONT ROOM
AND THEN IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN,
THAT HIS HOLINESS FLIES IN FROM ROME,
HE CAN SIT THERE WITH ME,
EATING TOAST, DRINKING TEA
IN THE SORT OF SURROUNDINGS
THAT REMIND HIM OF HOME
MICKEY
