The Beauty of Earl's Court - Robyn Hitchcock

Money makes the world go wrong

So what, who cares?

Gonna waste some time tonight

I haven’t in many years

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court

Facing the Australians

It happens every day

Sucking on your aliens

And pissing two and away

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

Like the canyons of New York

But not as filthy or cool

It’s the kind of place that

They don’t tell you about in school

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

to afternoons

Where nothing matters at all

See the rubber gloves inflating

Poking out of the wall

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

I’ve got to find another home

I’ve got to find another home

And 'til morning comes I wake in bed

Look to see that I’m not dead

Start out young and beautiful

End up old and diseased

They can cage your real age

You’re full of rings like a tree

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

Standing by the underground

The bubbles rise in the air

Gonna waste some time tonight

I haven’t done that in years

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court

Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court, Earl’s court
