lyrics

i’m not much of a travelling person. if i end up someplace i don’t investigate it much. when i was in france for a year all my other friends would visit people who were staying in different towns like toulouse or grenoble or wherever but i stayed in lyon the whole time and even then i would rarely change my route from the turkish quarter to the centre and back again. now I’m in south london it’s the same. i rarely explore the area about me. i can do a cheap train change at balham so i look around there a bit. actually no that’s not really true either. i just go to the same shop that does really great tea. everything about the place is done just right. there’s a water jug on each table and the tables are all different and they have many cakes with exactly the right variety - chocolate lemon macaroons pastries. but even on these visits i don’t vary the menu much. either a bacon sandwich or something sweet. and then maybe either a coffee or a pot of tea. i don’t think I’ve ever had anything else to eat there and maybe i’ve been 5 or 6 times. i like doing extravagant things once only. for example i went to sketch off regent street. but only once. it was great to spend £20 on tea & cake and have the bill slipped inside an old book and the surroundings made you feel like you were living in another world where everyone would be saying the most amazing things. i can’t remember what we were talking about or overhearing anything particularly wondrous so what i’m left with is a bad…what’s the opposite of a memory? an unmemory? a forget? an unmemory of what happened.
