Scotland Yard |
| When the hungry days are gone |
| Then came the hungry nights |
| Holding on to what you’ve got |
| Standing in the spotlight |
| They’ll show you mostly |
| What they want you to see |
| Walking the city at midnight |
| And whistling in the dark |
| Many times you’ve been down there |
| And seen the mess they make |
| Putting on your party face |
| Occasionally it’s fake |
| Sometime in the future |
| When you were carefully |
| Trying to do the right thing |
| And showing some discipline |
| Living, knowing you’ve done nothing wrong |
| Living, as if you’ve done something wrong |
| You knew it could happen |
| You knew that it would |
| You knew it could happen |
| Who’s been causing problems |
| In the neighbourhood |
| Who’s been breaking windows |
| Generally misunderstood |
| Living, living in Scotland Yard |
| Living, living in Scotland Yard |
| You knew it could happen |
| You knew that it would |
| You knew it could happen |
| You knew that it would |
| Living in, living in Scotland Yard |
| Living in, living in Scotland Yard |
| Living in — did the right thing |
| Living in Scotland Yard — in the end |
| Living in — did the right thing |
| Living in Scotland Yard — in the end |
| Living in — did the right thing |
| Living in Scotland Yard — in the end |
