| And in the last days of the world of plastic records | |
| He takes the car into town | |
| He hears the voices of salvation through the static | |
| Just turns the volume down | |
| A chain link fence round a boarded up arcade | |
| Towers of glass that petroleum has made | |
| But he wouldn't have been born | |
| At any other moment in the world | |
| And in the morning he will hear the silver kettle | |
| Calling him out of his sleep | |
| The world outside goes by in plastic and in metal | |
| He's got his secrets to keep | |
| The daily news forms a pattern on | |
| TVViolence first, then a cat stuck up a tree | |
| But he wouldn't have been born | |
| At any other moment in this world | |
| One o'clock and the office empties out | |
| He watches as they pass | |
| Nostalgic for something intangible | |
| A time that never was | |
| There is a crack along the plaster in the kitchen | |
| It forms the shape of her face | |
| Just for a moment he will trace it with his finger | |
| One day he'll paint her away | |
| He sees her now - she's got a clean white shirt on | |
| She's someone he'd just love to get the dirt on | |
| And she couldn't have been born | |
| At any other moment in the world |
