Clark Anne Hopeless Cases Hope Road So these are circumstances Leading to my sorry tale I was in a town I didn't know I'd arrieved there by rail It all began a week befire - The joys of Saturday Night - An invite to a party Or watching The Price Is Right Opting for a soiree For the first time in a year Mixed badly with the revellers Mixed Bacardi, wine and beer The room moved back and forwards The dancers did the same Found refuge in a corner That's when he asked my name Well this is very nice, I thought Smiling through the haze As we talked of Auguste Rodin Through to Harold Pinter's plays Said he played piano Said his name was Steve Why shouldN't I believe That he really lived so far away Had to make a move for home Scribbled down his address Said he didn't have a phone Would I like to come to dinner On Friday of next week To this i said I'd love to As he kissed me on the cheek That night I felt so happy Excited through and through See ! The company of strangers Doesn't always leave you blue Stumbled home contented Like a cat that got the cream Wake up a little weary But I knew it was no dream The next few days were auyiouns What could I find towaer ? What happens if i arrive And there is no Hope Road there ? My friend said don't ba silly No one does things like that Now will you get a move on And take off that stupid hat ! Made sure I set out early Made sure I caught the train Got out at the right station Then of course came down the rain Followed the directions Excactly as he said Asked people if they new Hope Road But they just walked on ahead I turned left at the junction Took the fork off to the right Straight over at the crossroads Then down to the traffic lights must have walked those streets for hours in the dark and in the cold Before I realyy could accept There was no place called Hope Road So here I am alone again Indoors by myself The TV, plants, books and I All nearly on the shelf Next time I'll be more cautions Next time I Won't be fooled It's another of those basic things You're never taught at school Let this be a warning As you wander through the world It makes no difference who you are Be you boy or be you girl Be very , very careful When people seems so nice It's not how that it's expensive Later on you pay the price There's no Hope Road |
