Winchester - Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians

One by one by one we saw the stars

One by one by one they closed the bars

And one by one we all went back to Mars

From Winchester

One by one the evening shadows fell

One by one by one we heard the bell

And I remember more than I can tell

From Winchester

Maybe there’s no one there at all

Maybe there’s no one left who cared

Maybe there’s no one there but Paul

Living in Shawford after all these years

Standing in the Talbot in my flares

Far out Phil and Pat were always there

And if you go then, baby, I don’t care

Winchester

Water meadows curling round the hill

Water meadows curling round the hill

Bodies in the stream, I see them still

Bodies in the stream, I see them still

And I don’t want to hurt you, but I will

This is Winchester

Maybe there’s no one there at all

Maybe there’s no one left who cared

Maybe there’s no one there but Paul

Living in Shawford after all these years

Walking through the dark towards your door

Walking through the dark towards your door

Listen to the groovers how they snore

Listen to the groovers how they snore

And I just didn’t know what love was for

In Winchester

In Winchester

There’s nowhere at all (Nowhere)

In Winchester

There’s nowhere at all (Nowhere)
