CFGC
I went to the / town by the / cream bus // tonight
FCGC
if you’re not by the / stop, the chauffeur / waits, a nice / man
FCGC
the rain pissed on / down as / only Gwent / can
GFC
I got soaked to the skin, and / huddled up / tight
CGC
when I went to town alone by the / cream bus // tonight
FCGC, FCGC Ooh
I went to / Edwards the / Butchers // tonight
for burgers, / home-made, now in / cold freezer / care
I then went back / out to the / evening wet / air
whilst Rob and Bridget put the / shop to / right
when I went to the town alone by the / cream bus // tonight
I went into / Stokes to buy / broccoli // tonight
I enjoy going / there with their / polite, youthful / crew
the manager is just a / boy; the / girls are pretty, too
I got one small leek, hands / wet, cold and / bright
when I went to the town alone by the / cream bus // tonight
I went into / Threshers for the / Scrumpy // tonight
a long, cold, wet / trek through the / miserable / street
the cold, hard, wet / rain thumping / down on its / beat
I got a pack too, of beer to / get me through the / night
when I went to the town alone by the / cream bus // tonight
I went back to / wait for the / cream bus // tonight
to go, via the / Knoll, back up the / hill, and then / home
the poor bloke, well, / he had / Llanellen to / roam
before he could sign off, get the / evening // alight,
when I came back alone on the / cream bus // tonight
I went to the / rear of my / small house // tonight
to cook up some / meat; then / after my / shower
barefoot but / warm, by the / mélange of / flower
the wireless told me Friday, the / music is / right
when I came back alone by the / cream bus // tonight
I went up to / bed in my / cold house // tonight
alone, as / always; oh / yes, that I / know
just watching the / computer and / gas fire / glow
the evening came in with its / brisk winter / bite
when I came back alone by the / cream bus // tonight
Ch
AF I know you / won’t be there
GC no holding hands, kissing, / taking care
AF Where are you now? / Why did you go?
CGC Are you coming back to me? / I want to / know
