Cleaners from Venus
Minesweeping Memory Lane
[Verse 1]
See Woolworth's with wooden floors
On a Saturday, believe it, oh yes
Sweet smell of the Pick n’ Mix
And your goddess in green overalls
There, painted in red on white
Like 3 and 6, our love was, oh yeah
Electrical counter dazzling
Opposite your love light
[Chorus]
Mindsweeping memory lane
I'm always mindsweeping memory lane
The same old ship's going down again
I’m just mindsweeping memory lane
[Verse 2]
Watch horrified or erect
As white lipstick, she emerges, lunch time
And meets with an older boy
Who knows much more than you do
[?] down like a chestnut lеaf
On a paving, sad mid-rainstorm, as you
Sigh into your [?]
And shirt you thought would send her
[Chorus]
Mindsweeping memory lanе
I'm always mindsweeping memory lane
The same old ship's going down again
I'm just mindsweeping memory lane
[Verse 3]
Some permanent Saturday
Is a version of you standing, jilted
So beautifully hurt so young
Such a dying swan umbrella
Love stories in stately homes
Written of forgotten raincoats, you sigh
Then wander home in the rain
With your Chelsea boots osmosing
[Chorus]
Mindsweeping memory lane
I'm always mindsweeping memory lane
The same old ship's going down again
I'm just mindsweeping memory lane
