Lyrics
Outdoor Café
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The summer's nearly at an end
The children will go back to school again
They don't care what happened in Madrid
As if they ever did
Graffiti on the castle walls
But no-one sees it in the market stalls
They're too busy, families must get fed
Who worries about the dead?
CHORUS
And old men watch the years go by
Floating day to day
Things are as they always are
In their outdoor cafe
A poster in the Orange Square
The couples passing by don't see it there
They don't think of changing history
Just winning the lottery
The politicians always fight
And argue over who is wrong or right
A thousand Francos all have come and gone
But life keeps going on
CHORUS
