I drove up to the car park near the west river
turned over several thoughts in my mind
sat back and waited to see what the day would deliver
hoped that the traffic warden would be kind
I went over several scenarios in the car
got comfortable as I waited for the scene to play out
wondered which lead actress they'd chosen as the star
in my head I chased a few hypotheses about
I walked up to the top of the hill
was amazed how much of the city I could see from there
worked out the distance from my house to the mill
felt static electricity go through my hair
found a rock and I threw it as far as I could
sensed disapproving eyes staring into my back
I turned around 180 degrees towards the wood
but there was noone staring back on the woodland track
stood outside the electrical goods shop
leaned up against the bright clean glass
and when the security guard asked me to stop
I closed my eyes and waited for him to pass
off into the twinkling sunset
but instead he talked into his walkie talkie
its obvious that he doesn't quite get
people like you and me
