Education and Additives

Hey.....Mr. M Can Gail come out to play?
Yeah, I know you haven’t seen me for some time...but I’ve been away.
I’ve been out there chasing fame and fortune and it kept me ill for a while,
but I think I’m getting better now and I’d love to see her smile
and cry and run around and graze her knees on the ground.

Hey.....Mr. M Can Gail come out to play?
Yeah, I know she’ll soon be turning thirty-eight on her next birthday.
But she always liked a game of footy in the park and swinging on the gate
and if we don’t start living soon it’s going to be too late
and we’ll have to go inside instead and crawl upstairs to bed..

Hey.....Mr. M Can Gail come out to play?
Yeah, I know that you invited us to dinner next Thursday - and we love your tofu roulé.
But it isn’t quite the same to chat in refined company;
she’ll be busy playing hostess and tending the family tree
and talking education and additives instead of sand and sea.

Hey.....Mr. M Can Gail come out to play?
I know she’s got a new life now and new commitments, but don’t they get in the way ?
You’ve kept her in playing docs and nurses and mums and dads and school,
and dressing up in power suits and acting kind of cool,
which is fine in its place, its no disgrace to act a grown-up fool.

Hey.....Mr. M Where’s your sense of liberty?
You’ve been shut up there for thirteen years in your three-bed semi -
committing vile adultery.
Send her out to play with me and I’ll bring her back by two
and we can hang around the bike-sheds and maybe sniff some glue
and dream about those golden days of rosemary and rue.
