Every Now and Then

Preparing for the long flight home,
They gather on the wire to preen.
Earlier than usual, most have flown,
From a summer – the worst that they’ve seen?

Heartbreaker is a catchy perk,
And unlike the others, quite placid.
This album feels as if Kraftwerk
Met The Human League on acid.

Hard to believe one September day,
Like the Elbow song, it saw me right!
A break from a summer full of rain,
Now light the fire, enjoy the night!

I need to get busy living,
Just forget about the gloom.
Time is unforgiving,
I’m dust and it’s a broom.
