Albatross (Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac)

The young and innocent sixteen-year-old
Stood in awe
In front of a full-size papier-mâché replica
Of a Nineteen-Thirties American automobile
Hung as it was from the students union ceiling
The main decoration
For the Molls & Gangsters Christmas ball
With live music
Courtesy of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac

Those steps to the balcony
Are now steps in the multi-storey car park
Which go down to the ring road
Across which was the Technical College
Where the young sixteen-year-old
Studied Electrical Engineering
Yet desperately wanted to be in Art College
To make sculptures out of papier-mâché
Or to become a refined user of China Clay
