London Town |
This story’s a sad one, the sort that you hear all the time |
But this time I’ll bore you with details and open your mind |
It’s the tale of a young girl who once was the talk of the town |
The first time I saw her, the skin was so thin on her bones |
Her eyes they were lost on that street though she called it her home |
So I thought, can I save her, can I get her out harms way? |
And she looked at me with those eyes, so what could I say? |
So I said what’s your name and she said your all the same |
So I said don’t act so strange, I only asked your name |
The stars in the night sky, she’d seen only once in her life |
But stars over girls parts on coldcut she sees every night |
She said somewhere in my tattooed jungle you will find my mum |
But she will disown me, should she ever learn what I’ve done |
And she said what became of my promised fame |
All I got was shame and she said we’re all to blame |
And then her eyes said don’t you leave me standing on my own |
Can’t you see that the street side is my home |
I’m held by men at night but still I’m cold |
I’m so lonely but you know I’m not alone |
I’m not alone, I’m not alone |
She had hair like a willow tree, choked at the side of the road |
Cardboard boxes for pillows, she weeps as she reaps what she sows |
So I asked her if one day she mind joining me in my grave |
You know like the big ones you see with the family name |
But she said all she’d ever been was a hoar and a slave |
And she didn’t know if she had any soul left to save |
And she said why’d you care, so I said because I did |
Ever since I saw you standing there, well, I couldn’t help but stare |
And then her eyes said, don’t you leave me standing on my own |
Can’t you see that the street side is my home |
I’m held by men at night but still I’m cold |
I’m so lonely but you know I’m not alone |
I’m not alone, I’m not alone |
She must of had the most lonely face I’ve ever known |
Yeah, she must of had the most lonely face I’ve ever known |
Well, I tried to hold on but my grip it just was not that strong |
I can still see her eyes as she fell and she fell for so long |
If ever see her, I hope you succeed where I failed |
I cried for the cruelty of kings cross the day she derailed |
Oh, somebody please, can you save her and take her away? |
You know London will kill her, you can’t let the smoke have its way |
