It was the Ides of March You know, the fifteenth Soothsayer's whispered warnings went unheeded I'm my own brutal Brutus Left shoeless and bleeding Toothaches and disturbed sleeping Debts need redressing I get that Regrets need regretting I've learnt how In my cramped kitchenette Got a letter through the door That I should have ignored Addressed to Paul In felt tip scrawl The flat's previous renter Absent now NFA Left debts on the key For the gas and for the electricity When I opened it up It just said 'Paul it's time to make amends to your friends, meet a guy name Chris at 6 on the 15th And he'll tell you what to do' Well I'm curious by nature It's clear that Paul's a stranger to Chris And that day was the 15th The PS said to meet at The Pits A quiet spot Where kids ride reckless on BMX and scooters I loved the TV sleuths first and dress like Frank Columbo Taking a walk to think it over Spy a card in the convenience store in the same felt tip scrawl Selling a crystal ball and a lawnmower It feels like a joke or a set up My eyeballs ache But I make the call. "Hello, Clairvoyant Carl, would you like to make an appointment" I've explained yes my Grandma is dead and no She didn't have a dog or a cat large or small at any time Before I think to ask about Chris Carl replies quietly "Beware of this Chris, he'll hurt you" And asks again about an appointment Which I politely decline I should wind my neck in Watch my back Consider my next of kin Stop in, Watch 90s sitcoms Snooze on through to the Tyne Tees news Forget my problems I fell in love once on the dodgems Tie myself tight in my rain mac Walk on by in stride to my backpack rap The only things Paul left in the flat Were a flat cap and a bracelet of blue glass I rarely find a hat that suits But this one's a candidate that I've being trying out The bracelet too Gives me something new So I knew it wasn't wise But I thought I'd keep my distance Paul was involved in some weird stuff Occult carvings on the walls This mystic's message through the door Six was sunset It could have been a ritual a bloodletting Or a pagan healing A shaking feeling in my legs as I took the path along the top Expecting wizards and warlocks Instead there's a kid on a moped swinging a chain Try to creep away but I cast a long shadow in the evening's final light He yells out "that's Chell's bracelet you flat-capped dink" And before I know it I'm hit and in a ditch in the dark It was the Ides of March You know, the fifteenth Soothsayer's whispered Warnings went unheeded I'm my own brutal Brutus Left shoeless and bleeding Toothaches and disturbed sleeping
