Lifting the mask from from a local clown
Feeling down like him
Seeing the light in a station bar
And travelling far in sin
Sailing downstairs to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
And hearing the trial of the people there
Who's to care if they lose.
And take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town.
Dancing a jig in a church with chimes
A sign of the times today
And hearing no bell from a steeple tall
People all in dismay
Falling so far on a silver spoon
Making the moon for fun
And changing a rope for a size too small
People all get hung.
Take a look and see me coming through
For I am the parasite who travels two by two.
When lifting the mask from a local clown
And feeling down like him
And I'm seeing the light in a station bar
And travelling far in sin
And I'm sailing downstair to the northern line
Watching the shine of the shoes
And hearing the trials of the people there
Who's to care if they lose.
And take a look you may see me on the ground
For I am the parasite of this town.
And take a look you may see me in the dirt
For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt.
Nicholas Rodney Drake, known as Nick Drake, was an English singer-songwriter and guitarist born in 1948. His music, characterized by melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics, primarily falls into the folk-rock genre. Drake released three studio albums during his short career: *Five Leaves Left* (1969), *Bryter Layter* (1970) and *Pink Moon* (1972). Despite an initial lack of commercial success, his work was rediscovered in the 1980s, becoming a cult object among fans of indie and folk music. Drake is remembered for his poetic sensibility, refined guitar technique, and the introverted atmosphere that permeates his songs. Some of his most representative tracks are *Pink Moon*, *Northern Sky* and *Cello Song*. His life was marked by deep melancholy and a sense of alienation, which is reflected in his music. Drake died in 1974 at the age of 26 from an accidental overdose of barbiturates.
