The Balcony - Paul Heaton[00:00:00]

As he taxes a draw on the 15th floor[00:00:07]

He can't help cursing his luck[00:00:10]

Life could have dealt him such a different hand[00:00:14]

Maybe 2 across and 23 up[00:00:17]

But there ain't door on the 38th floor[00:00:21]

No shortcut out of this dump[00:00:24]

The nearer high rise comes closer to the skies[00:00:28]

The temptation to actually jump[00:00:32]

And it's sadder the leaving than left[00:00:37]

Sadder the going than gone[00:00:41]

Saddest of all is the person bereft[00:00:44]

Of the chance to jump off or walk on[00:00:47]

Falling from ladder landing on dagger[00:00:51]

A thousand and one ways to die[00:00:55]

Better the brave and the early to grave[00:00:58]

And damn those too frightened to try[00:01:02]

As he awaits the last score on the 25th floor[00:01:10]

He looks down at the madness below[00:01:14]

It's always some Grimsby or Scunthorpe[00:01:18]

Some place he ain't been or won't go[00:01:21]

And as result comes in and his head goes down[00:01:24]

Yet another week he's gonna be stuck[00:01:28]

Where the betting slips rain like confetti[00:01:31]

Let down thrown out or screwed up[00:01:35]

And it's sadder the leaving than left[00:01:41]

Sadder the going than gone[00:01:44]

Saddest of all is the person bereft[00:01:48]

Of the chance to jump off or walk on[00:01:51]

Falling from ladder landing on dagger[00:01:55]

A thousand and one ways to die[00:01:58]

Better the brave and the early to grave[00:02:02]

And damn those too frightned to try[00:02:05]

So we wish you good spaces in faraway places[00:02:21]

Good luck in the folk that you meet[00:02:25]

Cause if you don't travel the dust and the gravel[00:02:29]

Will swallow you up from your feet[00:02:32]

This song that we give please carry it with[00:02:36]

To remind you we long your return[00:02:40]

Travel thee far and travel thee well[00:02:44]

And bring back every lesson you learn[00:02:47]

Travel thee far and travel thee well[00:02:51]

And bring back every lesson you learn[00:02:54]
