Piccadilly Circus |
Piccadilly Circus in the bed of night |
Just passing time beneath the lights |
Up in town and all alone |
Got no business so minds his own |
The hotel room is lonely and cold |
He might as well go for a stroll |
Idly looking in a hi-fi shop |
Footsteps, a chuckle and one hard slap |
And they didn’t even see his face |
See him flinch or hear him groan |
They didn’t even see his eyes |
One mean blow and on they ran |
He put his fingers to his side |
And felt his flesh was open wide |
He felt the rent the blow had made |
For the hand that fell had held a blade |
And they didn’t even see his face |
See him stumble, hear his cry |
They didn’t even see his eyes |
Just lashed out in passing by |
What can it mean? |
Who can makes some sense of that? |
Did it mean a thing to them? |
What can make a mind like that? |
Though forty stitches helped him over |
Who can live life over his shoulder? |
He tried to put it in his past |
And flew safe home back to Belfast |
And they didn’t see his face |
See him stagger watch him fall |
They didn’t even see his eyes |
They never knew him at all |
Never knew him, tried to kill him |
Never knew him, tried to kill him |
