Lyrics : Old Man Kensey - Live From Rock City, Nottingham / 1984

Old man Kensey
Wants to be a sign painter
First, he's got to learn to read
He's going to be a clown on TV
Flexing his elbow, taut and free
(That's my folly) I believe

Drink up the lake
Stand on your head
(That's my folly)
That's my mistake

Old man Kensey
Wants to be a goalie
First, he's got to learn to count
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount
Letters to me signed in sopped up tar
(That's my folly) Kensey's going far

Drink up the lake
Kensey's awake
(That's my folly)
I'm ready to go

Old man Kensey
Wants to be a dog catchеr
First, he's got to learn to stand
He's gonna bе a clown in a marching band
Letters to me signed, ransom, greed
(That's my folly) I believe

Drink up the lake
Kensey's awake
(That's my folly)
That's my mistake
John, Bill and Ed
Drink up the lake
(That's my folly)
I'm ready to go

Drink up the lake
Stand on your head
(If that's my folly)
I'm ready to go

Now, for just a quick- my heel slipped [?], [?], there's no place like home
It's a song about home
