Lyrics

Baked the day she suddenly dropped dead
We chew it slowly that last apple pie
Shocked into sleeplessness you're scared of bed
We never could talk much and now don't try
You're like book ends, the pair of you, she'd say
You hog that grate, say nothing, sit,sleep, stare…
Book ends, the pair of you, she'd say
Only our silence makes us seem a pair
Not as good for staring in, blue gas
Too regular each bud, each yellow spike
At night you need my company to pass
And she’s not here to tell us we're alike
You're like book ends, the pair of you, she'd say
You hog that grate, say nothing, sit, sleep, stare…
Book ends, the pair of you, she'd say
Only our silence makes us seem a pair
You're life's all shattered into smithereens
Back in our silences and sullen looks
For all the Scotch we drink, what's still between ’s
Not the thirty years, but books, books, books
You're like book ends, the pair of you, she'd say,
Hog that grate, say nothing, sit, sleep, stare…
The 'scholar' me, you worn out on poor pay,
Only our silence makes us seem a pair
Written by: John Young, Tony Harrison
