The Sobriquet

Lyrics

A sunbather and a cigarette, Two swimmers and a newspaper A photographer with headphones Cooling off his shins.

A marching band on a barge In front of the hotel Distantly heard From beneath a ziggurat On a step pyramid of cushions

A tan 100, A muffled march A soggy Trib A rhythm of snapshots by the lake A tan 100 A muffled match

A sunbather and a cigarette, A sobriquet, Two swimmers and a newspaper, A photographer with headphones Cooling off his shins.

A sunbather and a Tanqueray, A sobriquet, Two swimmers and a newspaper. A photographer with headphones Cooling off his shins, Scribbled on a napkin Unused or otherwise unused.

A warm gin A muted march A dripping Times A rhythm of snapshots by the lake A warm gin A muted march
