Theme from 'Likely Stories'

Unworthy winners and bad losers All-night cafes and self-abusers A baby in a jar An old man in a car A flame that beneath this room A cow jumped over the moon And other likely stories Soft electric care The girl was never really there There wasn't a woman who swallowed the cat Or do you think of that Children's games and lovers' tiffs Home truths and urban myths A half-forgotten nursery rhyme From a different place and time
