Pete Atkin - Have You Got A Biro I Can Borrow ? lyrics

Atkin-James Have you got a Biro I can borrow? I'd like to write your name On the palm of my hand, on the walls of the hall The roof of the house, right across the land So when the sun comes up tomorrow It'll look to this side of the hard-bitten planet Like a big yellow bu*ton with your name written on it Have you got a Biro I can borrow? I'd like to write some lines In praise of your knee, and the back of your neck And the double-decker bus that brings you to me So when the sun comes up tomorrow It'll shine on a world made richer by a sonnet And a half-dozen epics as long as the Aeneid Oh give me a pen and some paper Give me a chisel or a camera A piano and a box of rubber bands I need room for choreography And a darkroom for photography Tie the brush into my hands Have you got a Biro I can borrow? I'd like to write your name From the belt of Orion to the share of the Plough The snout of the Bear to the belly of the Lion So when the sun goes down tomorrow There'll never be a minute Not a moment of the night that hasn't got you in it
