Song for Dan Treacy

Song for Dan Treacy is the second track off Congratulations. 
== Lyrics ==
 
He spends his time 
Or maybe half of his time 
Or part of the time wandering 
Around the creeks and cobble stones of Hackney lanes 
With a tear in his eye 
As the children walk by, he's thinking of a song 
And then stops to paint a picture of a frown 
Walking around 
Dan Treacy's smile 
Leaves you trying to decide 
Who's the victim, what's the crime? 
No rest for the mind that's seen it all before 
And I don't know where he lives 
But he's a myth of a man 
And Texas Bob the cameraman 
Is off to fix his suit before the show 
Yeah, but where did he go? 
To know when your time's up 
You flip the glass and watch the hours quickening 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh 
In the back of the station 
Fluorescent lights about to quit their flickering 
Well he speaks his mind 
He says "what is crime?" 
Dan Treacy's eyes 
In the middle of the park 
When the underground is dark 
He's a poet, he's a lark 
He starts thinking 
About a place that no one knows 
And when the creeks run dry 
He stays frozen in time 
Strange lights in the sky start blinking 
I can see the car outside but he's listening 
He's listening 
He's listening 
Ahh... 
And he's making up his mind 
(He made his mind up) 
To get things done and overcome 
(He made his mind up) 
Yeah, he's gonna let it go 
(He made his mind up) 
In the park and at the station 
(He made his mind up) 
Yeah, he's gonna get it done 
(He made his mind up) 
Ooh yeah, he's gonna get it done 
(He made his mind up) 
Yeah, he's gonna let it go, uh oh 
No matter the time 
Oh, oh 
When the creeps run by 
Oh no 
He's making his mind up 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
Said Yeah, he's gonna get it done, whoa oh 
Oh yeah, when the creeks run dry, whoa oh 
Said yeah, he's gonna listen to his soul 
Yeah, when the creeps walk by 
"Come here boy, look me in the eye" 
Bow to the heart, back to the beat of Dan Treacy
