lyrics

In a house not far from Clichy
on the busy Paris road
lived a poet and his mother
Modeste and Marie Claude

Well his father'd been a pilot
with a penchant for the church
gave up his wings for higher things
left his family to the worst

While Modeste and his mother
sat quietly at home
the boy would chew his ball point
as his mind began to roam

and into his mind came an image
of the lovely soaring bird
with the cliffs of France beneath it
in the lovely poems word

Well the bird it was his father
and the cliffs were him at home
and his mother was the springtide
beneath the lazy foam

Modeste the Minor Poet
with all the time it took
he wrote a note of major sadness
in his mothers laundry book
