Autumn Came Early

On another of my late night walks Staring out at the posh hotels across the river I don't wanna leave, I've so much to say On the beach there's a man, he's picking up litter Autumn came early, but it's still summer outside The sun starts to shine as the leaves start to fall in my mind They say cast off the shackles of work and enjoy your free time But something comes creeping back in through the Maginot line Oh no, it's just like before Tall buildings fall back from the train-line Should be better by now, but I'm not sure I go up, I go down at the same time Maybe I'll go mad and cut off my hair To pay for a room in a cold flatshare
