I Like Your Shop

from Hayton is Real by Geoff Hayton

about

To be fair, I'd probably have thought the same thing.

lyrics

Well I know you’ve never seen me before
And I’ve never stepped through your storefront door
But hear me, champions of the dispossessed poor,
I’m no cause for alarm

And I know that I probably don’t belong
And my coat and my pants and my belt’s all wrong
And I don’t keep eye contact for long
No, not anymore

But oh, honey, if you only knew
I don’t mean to cause any harm to you
This ain’t a stake out for the boys in blue
Honest, I promise, I like your shop
I just want a book, I’m not a cop

Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen’s one thing
They’re all revolution even when they’re dreaming
But me with my notebook, and me with my pen,
What the hell is he writing?

He’s checking out the flag with the black and red fist
So hurry, cover up the mailing list
And hide the tattoos across your wrist
So he can’t identify you

But oh, honey, if you only knew
You’re a hundred miles off bout my worldview
And I don’t like the government any more than you do
Honest, I promise, I like your shop
I just want a book, I’m not a cop, no, honest, I’m not

It's gonna be like I was never here
In ten minutes flat I'll disappear
And you can go back to breaking fixed gears
Honest, I promise, I like your shop
I just want a book, I'm not a cop

Bakunin in hand I start down the street
And I can hear them calling the emergency meeting
Did he hear anything worth repeating?
