James Jefferys - Calm Down

Calm down,
Study the clouds
The postman has finished his peddling

He trots up your path
With a whistle and laugh
You weren't cut from the cloth of your brethren

I'm certain the bits
Of the picture will fit
But I don't let the curtain twitch

He's never flustered,
Just as keen as mustard
And he knows all the houses by heart

He raps on the oak
Like all kinds of folk
Bringing all kinds of light to the dark

I'm certain the bits
Of the picture will fit
But I don't let the curtain twitch

What matters to me is this world's eyes
And I'm compromised
Scrunched down to half the size

The greengrocer proud
Rolls the barriers down
Wheels out the barrows to the road

Mrs Jones stands
With her coins in her hands
For to buy a brand new Monday load

I'm certain the bits
Of the picture will fit
But I don't let the curtain twitch

What matters to me is this world's eyes
And I'm compromised
Scrunched down to half the size
