Robyn Hitchcock - Point Shirley lyrics

My friend is trapped in a shame spiral I'm worried about my friend's survival Waiting around on the sea to collapse Sticking his foot in his own traps There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be My friend is trapped in a hostile world The rutted sea is an angry girl Who calls you up just to hear you cry My friend's been there and so have I There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be My friend is sleeping on a six-foot wave There's too many of them to save I'm going to wait around for the sea to get full My friend's given in to the downward pull Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be Point Shirley or not to be You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be
