Visions to his Dself
GWe'd talk of tEmreasures, and Cover-rated gamDes

GWhat we loved Bmost of all was Emsitting around the shop 
Whilst this young boy was sitting all aloCne
Sitting all Dalone,

GHad so much sEmhit going on, Bmconvinced he'd never Amwin
Convinced he was a Dsin.
GWe'd speak of Emwomen and cCheaper carryoDut’s
GWe'd turn up to Emall the festivals, Bmtrying to bring down the Amtouts,
GWhat we loved Bmost of all was Emsitting round the shop
Whilst this poor boy was sitting all aClone 
SittiDn' all a.
GWe'd talk of tEmreasures, and Cover-rated gamDes
