Verse 2:

A boy with a clubfoot that sat next to him in school
Once upon a summer's day then went wandering through the woods
They spotted a sleeping swan on the banks of a muddy stream
And they stormed it with rocks till it collapsed in the reeds
They lay out on the green lawn full of chocolate and lemonade
But under the blue bowl the giant was afraid
And the sky was a woman's arms...
