Subject: Lyr Add: Putting Out The Dustbin
Its been requested so here it is:-

Am                      Dm      Em       Am
At half past twelve when putting out the dustbin
                               C    G   Am
Putting out the dustbin in the Greys Inn Road
                     Dm
I used to stand and listen for the clopping
       Am                        C    G       Am    C Am D
Of the fish cart coming with its early morning load
Am                              C    G   Am
Putting out the dustbin in the Greys Inn Road


At half past twelve as regular as clockwork
Grim in the lighting of the Greys Inn road
A Carter came as blue as a cadaver
On a bone white wagon with a phosphorescent load
Putting out the dustbin in the Greys Inn road

But late one night I stood upon the doorstep
Watching for the candle light to wobble up the road
Til hlf past one I waited on the doorstep
But the bone white wagon never showed
Putting out the Dustbin in the Greys In Road

And now when I am putting out the dustbin
Ten Ton Lorries lumber up the road
I would rather have a man who looks like a cadaver
Cos that little bit of horror used to lighten up my load
Yes I would rather have a man who looks like a cadaver
When I'm putting out the dustbin in the Greys Inn Road
