about

Inspired by all the bookshops we’ve played in.

lyrics

There’s a story waiting inside
Behind the door, as it opens wide
And I wander in, hoping to nd something
As they tell the stories we know
And those we don’t are waiting to be held, And taken home
There’s a strange man inside
Who knows what I like
He’ll rush with tea to my side
And a stack of books piled high
If I’m lucky enough there will be lots of stu That makes me smile inside
In a shop with books in....
Shelves stacked high, lls my eyes
Cant describe, who knows what you’ll nd
A lovely lady guides me through
I smell the pages, excitement grew
How glad am I to be In company, of such Purveyors of quality
Her knowledge is vast, Her hand reaches out And pulls the spine of a beautifully bound Book of delights, Picked especially for me I’m so happy in a shop with books in....
