John Wesley Harding
Browning Road
[Verse 1]
Well, the cats are howling round the dustbins
They're all into that trash
But they’re heading down to Clubville later
For their PR company bash
The sun is setting on the first act
And I have bought new shoes

[Refrain]
And I'm going down to Browning Road
Just to be seen with you

[Verse 2]
Well, the philosophers are out on Sartrean sulphate
And they say I don't exist
But I'm tune with the spoon in the June moon
Must be someone I missed
They disappear backwards when they use big words
'Cause the small onеs just won't do

[Refrain]
I'm going down to Browning Road
Just to be seen with you

[Bridge]
Romantic ain't the word for what you do to me
Maybе frantic, mantic, oh transatlantic
Whoa baby, can't you see?
[Verse 3]
The poets pose in the prosaic
They say that everything must rhyme
But down Browning Road where they're all stitched up
Because nothing keeps time
Out here, the dealers are up at seven
To push their big deals through

[Refrain]
And I'm going down to Browning Road
Just to be seen with you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Well, you know that there's trouble in the fundamental factory
Something's rotting on this estate
We would have done something about it
But when we were born it was much too late
Analysts are travelling inwards
And even Jesus has got the blues

[Refrain]
I'm going down to Browning Road
Just to be seen with you
[Bridge]
Romantic ain't the word for what you do to me
Maybe frantic, semantic, oh transatlantic
Whoa baby, get a message from me

[Verse 5]
The way the sun hits heavy on your selfishness
The light in your heart gets dark
And you're sick of the sight and the stink and the steam
In this everyday amusement park
I'm gonna throw in my hand when I'm on a roll
I'm tired of paying dues

[Refrain]
And I'm going down to Browning Road
Just to be seen with you
And I'm going down to Browning Road
Just to be seen with you
