[Verse 1]
Come with me, Martin, down to the corner
I've got to buy some bread for the porter
If he was not here, we'd be much poorer
Grandfather's world had a mordian order

[Chorus]
And I can remember now
I followed her like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough

[Verse 2]
By the bay window when it was raining
Watching the people on the pink paving
I didn't mind when I had to stay in
Some of my dream were really worth saving

[Chorus]
And I can remember how
I followed them like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough

[Verse 3]
I am much older than you would take me
I am much younger than you can make me
Live in a world of violence and danger
Finding myself the comparative stranger
[Chorus]
When I came to meet you now
I followed you like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough

[Verse 4]
You are devolving, you are behind me
It was predestined that you would find me
Come with me, Martin, down to the corner
Your ancient world has a much older order

[Chorus]
And when I come to see you now
I follow you like a seagull follows a plough
Follows a plough
