lirik lagu henrietta street – basciville & stephen james smith
the bustle of main street south comes from behind
it’s been a while since these sounds echoed down the wall of henrietta street
i attempt to tune it out though, to focus my attention on the bird song coming from the roof of hore’s stores as i sip a pint of guinness along with a full irish for my lunch
sure what’s the point of being self*employed if you can’t have a drink in the midday
in front, a man in a wheelchair chats to his friend, or carer, or both, who knows
he’s wearing a t*shirt saying “keep it mellow”, that’s the motto for today
he tells of a father, a builder, a walled garden
“last week”, he says, “thеre was a funeral
next week, a wеdding
sure that’s the way of life” they agree
my plans for today have now changed
unfortunate to have found a place to watch the world, to sink another pint
to spot strangers’ face i’ve begun to recognize in this town that’s my new home
in the background, i hear a busker playing “ordinary man” by peter hames
it’s a song i love
“no work today”
carries on the air
so i take heed of that for a while
thoughts of next week’s colonoscopy are on hold
i get the sense this is how it’s meant to be for now
to my right pansies align the side of simon lambert’s pub as the street slightly slopes towards a statue of commodore john barry
a wexford man and a father of the american navy
he died in philadelphia in 1803 at the age of fifty eight
but i’m not thinking of a final resting place right now
just resting
and seeing what’s to come
and how every day is monumental
if you think about it
