“average flats” is what I hear. “narked” is new to me,but makes sense. GREAT SONG

I’m with Jon – first word is “The” and “I” not “I’d”

I don’t think it’s “yell” though – “gel” does sound correct, even though the context proposed by Jon would work (but “relate” not “relay”).

I think the first word is definitely “The”, and I also think it’s “I” not “I’d” in the first line of the 2nd verse.

(Well, it is a site that embraces pedantry after all…)

Also, I’ve always sang “yell” not “gel” and “My fears would RELAY to my skids” – my thought process being, if the kids yelled, the pit bull (capitals or not? Not sure) would be liable to do something that would cause Nigel’s nervousness to manifest itself in his underwear.

Or something…

OK, before any more of you get narked, I’ve made the alteration!

yeah “narked” is right it certainly makes a lot of sense given the context

Would it not have been easier for it to be “and though I jay walked on the road…” in that case? Nigel is an odd cove though, is he not? You could be correct, Nick.

I’m still sure though that the first two lines should be

The car that’s parked on the pavement narked
Pedestrians and children with chalk

… as in that the car is p***ing off the kids trying to play hopscotch and the pedestrians.

Can’t see it being “jay” …it sounds like yea and would also fit in with the age and writing style of the original Bunyan’s “To Be A Pilgrim”, the tune which is used. “Yea though I walk in the road to get past” is a bastardisation of “Yea though I walk in the valley of death”, and of course “He Who Would Valium Take” is a nod at the line “He Who Would Valiant Be!”

Probably more likely to be ‘…. and jay though I walked on the road to get by’ referencing the illegality of crossing a highway other than those places marked to do so.
