lyrics

It's funny coming through the park
They've got this uh
Sort of like this bridge they built over the um
Stream thing there and
It's got ah
I mean they made it from uh
Scaffolding poles

And it's sort of over the
Over the stream there
But they got a regular bridge right next to it
This sort of hastily built construction site scaffolding poles kind of thing
Uh it's all right
It's got handrails and everything
But um
I wouldn't trust it

I'd probably just go on the normal bridge because uh
You know why
Why have a new bridge out of scaffolding when you got the uh
Got a normal one right there I suppose
I mean that's
That's if I want to go over the stream in the first place
I could just walk round it I suppose
It's no big deal

Not that I uh
Not that I go in the uh
Park much these days it's
It's too wide open for me
