A Verse For Kirsty

I went to the chip shop
Then wandered around in the frost
You never bothered to turn up
Perhaps you'd gotten lost
I wandered off of Oxford Street
And sat on the bench for Kirsty MacColl
And forgot about how you stood me up
And dreamed of Cuba and Mexico

So now as I'm waiting there
For you the girl with ginger hair
In a empty bench in Soho Square
I'll sing a verse for Kirsty

Even as his supermarkets begin to rot
Mr. Guillermo Nova must still sleep sound
and be happy with what he got
But he should tread lightly in his dreams
Because of all the new evidence found
None justify how someone's life
Is only worth sixty one pound

So now I'm waiting there
Thinking of another girl with ginger hair
In an empty bench in Soho Square
Waiting for justice for Kirsty

I went to the Astoria alone
Because of course you never met me
But I went singing a verse for Kirsty.
