At a music festival
The bands begin at noon.
They play loud and best of all
It won't be ending soon.

Lee and all his friends are there.
Their new home is a tent.
"Someone threw a can in here.
"I'm sure it wasn't meant.

"Throwing mud and things
"At each other all day long.
"Having lots of flings
"With strangers in the throng.

"Stop the war, save the whales.
"Don't hurt pigs if all else fails."

He meets a girl called Eloise.
She smiles and says hello.
He feels something in his knees,
A warm and growing glow.

They talk and conversation flows.
They jump on trampolines.
He spills a drink on his own clothes.
She helps him change his jeans.

Listening to her favourite band,
A set she couldn't miss.
He puts his arm around her and
They're just about to kiss.

But along comes a man in a suit and tie.
Eloise looks at her sandal.
His briefcase held about waist-high,
With a label on the handle.

'Made from seals' is on the label.
But the thing to note is this:
Eloise is just unable
To resist him when they kiss.

Neither of them say goodbye
To Lee when they walk away.
All that's left to do is sigh.
There's not a lot to say.

"I can't complain - the statement that
"My phone's part badger is all true.
"I did buy Gran that squirrel hat,
"And I broke her stair-lift too."

He laughs and shakes his head.
It's time to jump around.
Talk to the girl with the broom instead.
Dance in a field to the sound.
