The patent-leather shine on a boot, Charles Street North.
Saturday, the sixth of February, nineteen-four.
The dormant ivy on the brick of the Merchants Club wall.
The afternoon light through the dust in a train station hall.
[Chorus]

Before the Sunday night.
[Bridge]

Just to save one stupid, perfect, ordinary wall.
[Outro]
The city breathing in.
Just breathing in.
