Attraction Fairground Station Street Lyrics

Station Street Lyrics

The kids from Station Street
don't play 'round here no more
She doesn't
exactly understand
but it's something to do with the war
So she learned
some tunes on piano
She's very good for her age
But, sometimes, she
pounds the keys
with her tiny fists in a rage
She doesn't exactly
understand
but it's something to do with the war

Like when Aunt Mary
took her to O'Riley's caff
He said "I can't serve your kind in
here,
so don't go coming back"
So she took to painting
pictures
Such a promising child
But, sometimes, the pictures she
paints
are ugly and wild
She doesn't exactly understand
but it's
something to do with the war

So she prays to the statues on
Sundays
She says "please, won't you give me a sign?
If there's any
sense to this,
move your hand or wink an eye"
But the statues are
cold and stony faced
like the soldiers by the door
She doesn't understand
anything at all
Anything at all
Anything at all
