Do you still eat your toast like I do Around the edges first, until there is only the soft bit in the middle Do you scan the line for the club Peer into shop windows, cafe windows, bedroom windows When you’re falling asleep in the dark do you wonder if you’ll dream of me Does Bukowski remind you of me Does Rodriguez Does your father Do you still laugh like you did with me Do you still eat eggs with mayonnaise Wear stripes and bows and the red canvas trousers Do you still eat your toast like I do Around the edges first, until there is only the soft bit in the middle Do you still eat your toast The way you consumed me

Words for an Old Friend
Do you still eat your toast like I do Around the edges first, until there is only the soft bit in the middle Do you scan the line for the club Peer into shop windows, cafe windows, bedroom windows When you’re falling asleep in the dark do you wonder if you’ll dream of me Does Bukowski remind you of me Does Rodriguez Does your father Do you still laugh like you did with me Do you still eat eggs with mayonnaise Wear stripes and bows and the red canvas trousers Do you still eat your toast like I do Around the edges first, until there is only the soft bit in the middle Do you still eat your toast The way you consumed me
