Tivoli Flicks

I'm just looking for my ticket
Looking for a one stop show
A little seat to rest my head on
Relax in the darkness of the show
Wind down with a box of popcorn
See the flickers of the show
See life acted before me
Different characters telling me which way to go
I feel the smell and odour around me
Of every pensioner who's been here before
Wasting their days out of the sunlight
With the smoke and the their jacket at the door
Sink down beneath my raincoat
See my breathe in the dusty lights
A little whiskey to ease my feelings
Every drop a darker place to go
I'm just looking for my ticket
In the flickers of the show
Wasting my days out of the sunlight
Every day a darker place to go

The Tivoli was the only cinema in Birmingham to show European films, unfortunately it also doubled as a porno flicks. If you got the programme time wrong it was quite an experience.
