lyrics

No, I am not in this place shopping, I am tracing the letter A
as directly as possible through the city centre.
I started in Ashton Lane, and the line went through here.
This is my friend Jim, he’s not shopping either.
He does psychogeography.

No for me it’s just a hobby, the designer shoes are that way,
yes I’ll pass on my love, no I’ve not seen him for ages...
And now I’ve run out of stuff to say so I hope you find those shoes,
I could get on my high horse, say 'I’m not the one who’s lost',
but a high horse isn’t practical, you can’t get it through revolving doors.
When these shops are all flooded we’ll be in the same boat,
drifting through the plague years, drifting through the plague years.
Can we please leave this shop now? There is nothing of value here.
All this stuff makes me dizzy, it gives me the fear.

When all this is under the water these maps will be all that’s left,
so we should try to make these maps beautiful.
We are making geography, psychogeography.
