first you go up the hill(don't forget to sat the church)the church why? i don't know...(in case they miss the turn)let me do the talking(you make mistakes sometimes)well so do you toonever let me talk-----yaahhh - drink your beerthis is no suprisethey're always arguing, they're from down in...(darts my friend?)and when you reach the topout on the scraggy backs just theresay - you must be newa movie camera! (ooohh!)WELL - I wouldn't GO(darts?) don't! (over his shoulder as he goes to play darts)WHO IS THAT WITH YOU?(darts my friend?)     how does she hang the clothes     climb up on herself?there's a house(white)a back porch(grey)just a table there(don't forget the laundry line)yes - nobody knows how far it goes(many men have died)BALONEY/PHOOE
Ypast the fishing banksprobably past the edge of the earth maybe
OH COME ON and sometimes there is a chair the table legs they never move waiting and pressing and the clothesline stop don't move CHORUS: well, maybe she should go to school no,no...she's a table lena's a white tableand in the afternoonand in the autumn airthe porch is bare and stillthere is a waiting thereand flint the laundry lineapples rolling down the hill WINDOW: i hope that she's here what if she's not here i don't think she's here i hope she's not here don't you think she's here i don't think she's hereand sometimes there is a chair the table legs they nevermove waiting and pressing and the clothesline stop don't move CHORUS: well, maybe she should go to school no,no...she's a table lena's a white table well,maybe she should learn to pray no,no...she's a table lena's a white table we saw her waiting by the line which line? the laundry line waiting for the clothes to dry what if she freezes in mid-air? no no no no no...
