Graham Greene John Cale

[Verse 1]
You're having tea with Graham Greene
In the colored costume of your choice
And you'll be thought in high esteem
If you're seen in between

Stiffly holding umbrellas
Catching the fellows making the toast
To the civil servant Carruthers
Making the others worser than most

[Verse 2]
You're making small talk now with the Queen
And the elegant ladies in waiting
You're very nervous they can all tell
Pretty well they can tell

So save yourselves for the hounds of hell
They can have you all to themselves
Since the fashion now is to give away
All the things that you love so well

[Chorus]
Oh welcome back to Chipping and Sodbury
You can have a second chance
It must all be like second nature
Cutting down the people where they stand
