And Hello To You Too

Verse 1

Mr. Grimble on the corner

Counting cracks along the pavement tiles

Says the postman owes him sixpence

For the letters that he's held for quite a while

Pre-Chorus

Oh the birds don't sing his way

And the rain falls every day

But he tips his hat and smiles

At the nothing in his way

Chorus

And hello to you too

Said the mirror to the man

And hello to you too

Do you understand?

Hello to you too

I'm waving from the glass

And hello to you too

This moment'll pass

Verse 2

Eleanor collects her buttons

In a biscuit tin beneath the stairs

Talks to photographs of strangers

Asking them if they've got any spares

Pre-Chorus

She believes the kettle knows

When the water's right to pour

And the ticking clock is keeping

Secrets from the floor

Chorus

And hello to you too

Said the mirror to the man

And hello to you too

Do you understand?

Hello to you too

I'm waving from the glass

And hello to you too

This moment'll pass

Guitar Solo

(Reverse-tape melodic stinging solo over drone)

Bridge

Up the escalator riding

Down the rabbit hole we slide

Teacups clatter china shattering

Nothing left to hide

Turn the record over

Watch the needle find its groove

Everybody's somebody

Till they've got nothing left to prove

Chorus

And hello to you too

Said the mirror to the man

And hello to you too

Do you understand?

Hello to you too

I'm waving from the glass

And hello to you too

This moment'll pass
