My Saturday [(Am)]job pays s[C/G]ix and six down[Dm/A]
A copy boy at the Chronicle
Five cigarettes and two s[C/G]ilver half crowns[Dm/A]
Meeting Vince at Mark Toney?s in town[Dm/A]
Boy, do we get around

Basil sits t[(Am)]here on the t[C/G]able for subs
But not a part of the Bri-nylon club
Ancient blue sweater, too [C/G]old for the job
Bored out of his mind
With the Colins and Bobs

I?m a jack and a l[C/G]ad
And I?m up for the world
And I?ve kissed a Gateshead girl

He [(Am)]calls for a copy boy, gr[C/G]umpy as hell
Poets have to eat as well
What he wouldn?t give just to walk out today
To have time to think about time
And young love thrown away

I?m a jack and a lad
And I?m up for the world
And I?ve kissed a Gateshead girl

Starlings swarming a cloud
Over Grainger Street
Over the black church
Over the Bl[C/E]ack Gate
And the shadowy [(Am)]Keep

He peers through his [(Am)]wire rims
At the f[C/G]ish and chip words
He?s supposed to dish up and forget
His drudgery now has become slightly blurred
By one of his Players untipped cigarettes

Bury all joy
Put the poems in sacks
And bury me here with the hacks

In the summer the [(Am)]fair
Will stretch [C/G]over the Moor
L[Dm/A]overs will lie and make out in the park
Basil puts on his old d[C/G]uffel and scarf
And goes out into the dark
