Bait Up
The village clock chimed 'Home in bed', an old man spat and swore,
Tve been out to paint the town,' he said, 'but the town isn't there anymore,
Can I walk beside you, though you're keen to be on your way,
You must have someone that waits for you, at the end of this long day.'
'Rest young man, in the shadow of the clock we stand,
And I feel it creeping dark across my brow,
I wish I had someone to put my bait up now.'
'My house,' he said, 'will be empty, the grate will be long since cold,
I might be my own master, but I'm a slave to getting old.
It's a long time since I woke up to nowt but a lonely night,
A long time since me bait was waiting, wrapped up neat and tight.'

'I've walked my share of young girls home across this wintry dark,
And had to leave them sleeping so as not to be late for work,
I sometimes dream they lie there still, all soft and warm and young,
But I guess they're old and grey like me, or even dead and gone.'
'My father used to warn me, I thought that he was mad,
He said, Times that make you happy just turn round and make you sad'.
I really shouldn't drink this much, at my age it's just not right,
But I'm as tired as two pit deputies, and I haven't eaten a bite.'
