The Canterbury Sequence by The Tangent Lyrics
I) Cantermemorabilia
I seem to spend my whole life shouting
Perhaps I should be cool
Put on some Caravan or Hatfields
Like I used to do at school
Feigned innocence and humour
Through my Walkman on a bike ride in the sun
My bicycle and I
We missed the party back in 1971
But here... I still find
The song lingers on into the thousands
Whimsical indulgence
Could never last the speed of modern life
The traffic whizzes past me
As I pedal further from the daily strife
II) Chaos at the Greasy Spoon
[Instrumental]
III) Captain Manning's Mandolin
[Instrumental]
I seem to spend my whole life shouting
Perhaps I should be cool
Put on some Caravan or Hatfields
Like I used to do at school
Feigned innocence and humour
Through my Walkman on a bike ride in the sun
My bicycle and I
We missed the party back in 1971
But here... I still find
The song lingers on into the thousands
Whimsical indulgence
Could never last the speed of modern life
The traffic whizzes past me
As I pedal further from the daily strife
II) Chaos at the Greasy Spoon
[Instrumental]
III) Captain Manning's Mandolin
[Instrumental]
