Cracker - Sidi Ifni Lyrics
We walked down
a long promenade
Down a winding stair,
wide as boulevards
Vines and shrubs
From the Spanish town
to the African sea
We drank wine
and toasted to the day
When she was the queen,
before the long decay
We drank wine,
slept off hangovers
Lethargy, decay
We’d awake
to the BBC
An old English queen
on the balcony
Wander ’round
abandoned consulates
An old broken chair
on the marble stair
And from the roof,
see Canary seas
The discarded runway
of Sidi Ifni
We drank wine
lying on our backs
On the warm tarmac,
in a bowl of stars
Well, I went down,
mostly on my own
Till I was alone
in that shipwrecked house
Through the porthole sea
an epiphany
I would never leave this place alive
I drink gin
with the old ex-pats
We are broken things,
from a broken past
And it comes near;
but just out of grasp
The alchemist words
that would bring her back

Cracker Sidi Ifni Comments
Thanks for putting this together - it fits nicely, in content and atmosphere, with the song, which always makes me think of Graham Green's The Honorary Consul.
