Umbrella Pedestrians

lyrics

Came in the mid to late sixties
And quickly sewn into the fabric of the city
Shrunk in the wash and you’re still dirty
I hope your kids reach thirty
There’s a home for you hear amongst gypsy denizens
And when you’re at home you’re at home with the bedouin
Metropolitan life is a shock to your wife
You try to linger with umbrella pedestrians
Don’t like umbrella pedestrians

Umbrella pedestrians
It’s so hard
So hard to understand them
It’s so hard
So hard to understand them when they don’t understand me

Umbrella pedestrians
Pass me by
Pass me by as I sing to them
I pour my heart
Pour my heart out in front of them
So they can give their money to me

I embrace you vivaciously
can’t you see
I won’t hasten to add that you don’t look a thing like me
People are people from the police to my peers
So lend me your ears
When will they learn the error of their ways
There are so many inconsistencies bigots must face
There’s a home for you hear amongst gypsy denizens
But you linger with umbrella pedestrians
Never like umbrella pedestrians

Umbrella pedestrians
It’s so hard
So hard to understand them
With a heart so kind to remember them
I’ve seen your displeased face before

Umbrella pedestrians
Don’t like it when I shout at them
They don’t care, they don’t care when I sing softly to them
They don’t listen when I talk
