(There’s A) Cloud Over Liverpool lyrics

The factory siren ends another day
Better now I've closed the flower shop
The kids are outside shouting and playing
Cowboys and indiands on the cobbled lane
My cousin Frankie's walking Mavis home
They've been engaged for the last six months
I'm sure it's put her in the family way
But cousin Frank assures me that she's just overweight

When I get home and my tea's not made
I moan at my mum cos I wanna go out
I wanna go out cos I just got paid
The beginning of the weekend, it's all I care about
8 o'clock and evеrybody's going out
Mum and dad are going down the pub
Cos sister Sally boyfriеnd's come round tonight
And my brother and his mates have gone down the club

Ba da ba ba
Ba dup ba bababa

Saturday morning and I go round Dave's
To ask him what he wants to do
He says Liverpool're at home against West Brom today
So we trot out to Westfield to see the match
I'm out with my girl on saturday night
And we're sitting in the pub drinking beers and eating pies
But all's not well and I think there'll be a fight
Cos the bloke with the Drape keeps giving me shifty eyes
I walk her home cos it's not very far
She kisses me cheek and she says "too-rah!"
"Can't I come in?", "No, it's too late."
So I walk home feeling really lonely

There's a cloud over Liverpool
(repeat to fade)
