Wednesday Jones

I wonder who's coming out today

To play in sheltered shopping centres

Sitting around the stagnant fountain

Counting pennies eating peanuts

Brown paper, babies and check out girls

In uniform and furniture boys

Who we used to know don't say hello

But that's okay that's okay

'Cause when the sun comes down

And you come home

We'll have two weeks all alone

Before you have to go back to school

Which ruins everything.

Wednesday Jones is growing up

And if she goes I'll never catch her

On the petrol station forecourt

All thumbs and old suede jacket

Catch the bus back to the house

The front room's ours and we can stay there

Stared out the window for an hour

Until I too went away went away

'Cause when the sun comes down

And we're apart

Another one must claim my heart

And Wednesday Jones and I won't be

Each others lover
