Get Smaller To Get Bigz

The stunning Albert Bridge is nearby and there's a pleasant evening stroll along the Embankment if dinner is to be had in one's club. Sometimes we dream as we tick along... (noting for instance that the Albert Bridge is illuminated by four thousand lights, coincidentally or not, precisely the same number of holes Lennon said were found in Blackburn, Lancashire, and that it would take to fill the Albert Hall). Intriguing coincidence or just pervasive Beatles influence?

Get Smaller To Get Bigz

Why don’t you fly with me
Enter the night
Into the pie and the gravy
The dusk is dark with the starling clouds
Black tie
Black sky
Splash in the puddle of mine eye
Oh the pavements tick tick tick tick tick tick
And sigh

So why don’t we fly
Under the Albert Bridge
Why don’t we fly high
Along the Embankment
Why don’t we... fly
Have a wobble
Up into the sky
Leave your bag
Leave your cigs
Get smaller to get bigz

Me? No!? It’s just the wind in my eye

Why don’t you fly with me
Why don’t you fly with me

Over the river we go
Look at the flow-wingman
Can you see the Houses of P?
And down to the big wheel?
Aye aye!
Off we go!
