Lyrics The Lamplighter - Clinic

The Lamplighter

Remember the limelight, champagne and roses and the song
Whatever they tell you, whatever they sell you, they were wrong
In time of reflection all the deceptions will be gone
Now look to the new day, look for a new way, we were robbed
Lonely the streetlight, Lucozade lamplight, glow in the dark
Out through the estuary, out to the stars
In time with perspective all you suggested was sublime
Still clinging on at the edge of the world, lost city
In the lamplight
In time and reflection all the deceptions will be gone
Now look to the new day, look for a new way, we were robbed
Still clinging on at the edge of the world
Still clinging on to the rags and the pearls, lost city
In the lamplight
