Name: Another Bangor Day
Duration: P00H04M12S
Description: Also a souvenir of my (first round of) college days, but rather more sombre than 'Baby What A Groove'. More personal than most of my songs, too. A bit of an outlier on this album, but I thought it belonged next to 'Baby What A Groove'.

lyrics

Another Bangor Day (words & music by David A. Harley)

A dusty sunbeam brushed my face
And splashed the bedroom wall
As I rubbed my eyes and answered
The landlady’s morning call.
I hoped to get a line from you
But I don’t know what you’d say
Still I comb the static from my head
On another Bangor day.

And over breakfast coffee
I watch the new day born
Into the slate-grey boredom
Of another Bangor dawn
And it seems to me I had a dream
In waking from a dream
But the thought slips through my fingers
As I pass the egg and beans.

And talking sociology
At lunchtime in the Globe
Janey said she liked me
But there is this bloke at home
And I shrugged and let her tell me
She was sorry just the same
But I shouldn’t bring on substitutes
This early in the game.

Six weeks since I saw you
And another day half-gone
And autumn blunts my memory
As another term rolls on
And there’s still a space left in my life
Where you once used to be
But even that nostalgia
Isn’t all it used to be.
