Benediction
00:14
Bottle of whisky every second day on the home shift
00:17
Sat at the bar 5pm for the daily beers
00:21
Each night you appeared
00:23
When the clock struck the hour like a strange kind of cuckoo
00:28
Holding out stained dollars in your claws with a toothless smile
00:32
Limping
00:34
All behold the great beaked barfly
00:38
In here there are people who will like you until 1am
00:43
When the daggers come out yet until then
00:46
It's the love in Jeu de Vive
00:48
Everyone likes company for the descent
00:50
Not me though
00:52
Until sometime later girls begin to flap
00:54
Uncount feet with thickened yellow toenails
00:57
Begin to flounder
00:58
Stagger always meets stope
01:01
No lies, no lies until all clocks chime, chime, chime
01:06
So loud with sorrow
01:10
One night you look up and everyone is gone
01:15
And you pick up your lighter
01:17
Run it slowly across a wooden bar
01:20
Metal spokes spray tiny sparks
01:23
Like when you were wee
01:25
Remember?
01:27
Watching the Catherine Wheel
01:28
The golden light of fireworks
01:32
And the cold dark night of a Glasgow park
