Footsteps in the Snow

It was one of those indie labels that are surreptitiously funded by a major But they paid for the band to go down to London and Patty asked me to go with him To document the trip Later on, Sydney took us all out for drinks at this club in SoHo And a few girls appeared, Sydney's sister and her friend Jemima And a few hangers on and Sydney suggested we all go back to his flat Which was in a block on the southside of the Thames His flat was a state, there was still the remains of the morning's breakfast on the table And then he passed around some joints and Nobody offered me one, by that point I think they'd actually forgotten I was even there You know, insignificant me So I looked out at the river and I could see some poles And the post office town in the distance And all the while, Patty had been sitting silently on the couch Wearing his shades and his battered top hat And he came over to the window and asked me to stop taking pictures I'm not, I'm not taking pictures for you, I'm taking pictures for myself Still, he said, "It's making me uncomfortable, I should have never asked you to come" So I, I gave him my camera, I don't know why Sunglasses have a power after dark is all I can say But yeah, then things started getting really crazy And a friend turned up in a taxi with a block of opium I just, I just found a quiet room in the dark and fell asleep
