Evening Of Swing (Has Been Cancelled) Songtext / Lyric

I fell asleep amongst the boulders strewn between

Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr

And I saw in a dream

Your charmless associates in a stretch limousine

They were plunging headlong into a ravine

And your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing






Came the behemoth, seven score and nine

To rescue all the children from their parents on the line

And they took them to a crash site

Unfurled a ball of twine

And tied a bunch of flowers around the speed limit sign

No more the Multiplex

Stood in its stead

Pleasure grounds with maize in the shape of a sled

Outside the Gielgud, a neon sign read:

“Equus On The Buses”, starring Mr Ed

And your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing



And a plague fell upon the Retail Park

And a storm broke over Henman Hill

And the christening party arsehole

Who hitherto had blurred

My conception of man as nature's final word

Was fleeing from the lava

His SatNav pleading thus:

“I'm not from round here mate, you should have got the bus”

Enter then a real rat pack

Millions pouring in

And Ezekiel punched Dan Brown

And the nights are drawing in

And your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing had been cancelled

Your Evening of Swing
