Alan Moore - Fires I Wish Id Seen Lyrics

Last week that place burned that sold those psychedelic shirts
It must have looked so colorful and nobody got hurt
A paisley blaze whose origins nobody could assert
But that's one fire I wish I'd seen

That old guy with a stammer shuttling through town
He asked this girl for cigarettes, she walked on with a frown
He threw his crutches at her, missed, looked bitter and fell down
It's the most eloquent that he has ever been

I've got this friend, his name is John, he should by rights be dead
He fell three stories off a roof and landed on his head
His skull remained intact but cracked the paving stones instead
Heaven must be full, they're turning folk away sight unseen

And what I wish for you to have is a warm night in July
When the sodium lights like Lucozade got spilled across the sky
And from the hard-eyed Italian waiters to the skate punks rolling by
Everybody treats you like a queen
