Casualties of the Times: Matchbook Collector

Matchbook Collector


Matchbook collector
Someday – but will you ever?
With your Joe Strummer hair

I’m nothing like you
I’m nothing like you
You are everything they say someday I’ll be

Rub across invisible highway
With your little finger
Where’s he going?
There is an order to these things

Stop on red
Go on green
Speed up on yellow… cautiously
We hope you all will drink responsibly

I’m nothing like you
I’m nothing like you
You are everything they say someday I’ll be

Matchbook collector
Someday – but will you ever?
Will you prove them wrong about something?
