David Bowie - Uncle Arthur Lyrics
Strikes the bell for 5 oclock, uncle arthur closes shopScrews the tops on all the bottles, turns the lights out, locks it upClimbs across his bike and hes awayCycles past the gasworks, past the river, down the high streetBack to mother, its another empty dayUncle arthur likes his mommyUncle arthur still reads comicsUncle arthur follows batmanRound and round the rumours fly, how he ran away from mumOn his 32nd birthday, told her that hed found a chumMother cried and raved and yelled and fussedArthur left her no illusion, brought the girl round, save confusionSally was the real thing, not just lustUncle arthur vanished quicklyUncle arthur and his new brideUncle arthur follows sallyRound and round goes arthurs head, hasnt eaten well for daysLittle sally may be lovely, but cooking leaves her in a mazeUncle arthur packed his bags and fledBack to mother, alls forgiven, serving in the family shopHe gets his pocket money, hes well fedUncle arthur past the gasworksUncle arthur past the riverUncle arthur down the high streetUncle arthur follows mother
