          There's always room for one more soul
          Down in the Human Zoo
          I don't want you to come here though
          I want to come home to you
          Somebody's knocking at the door,
          It's later than I think
          And it's time to put on these sinking clothes
          And get out there and stink
                                  --Billy Bragg
