| I was carried down a cold, black street
|
| When the sunshine hit my face
|
| As it just might happen, it’s hard to believe
|
| I was down and out and crawling away
|
| I had a fast down beer in a hotel bar
|
| For the last five hours with friends
|
| I blew a thirty thousand check in a week from hell
|
| Funny how there’s no one now
|
| This isn’t no place when you’re feeling down
|
| It chews you up and spits you out
|
| Can you hear the people talking on the underground
|
| The little lies of London Town
|
| Well, I hear them now in a moral stream
|
| Close your eyes and count to ten
|
| And the starry light rhythm, yeah, in the world
|
| If ever coming back again
|
| From the face in the corner sure wrestling well
|
| As pretty as a pawn could be
|
| After all these years in a Soho hell
|
| Living out some fantasies
|
| This isn’t no place when you’re feeling down
|
| It chews you up and spits you out
|
| Can you hear the people talking on the underground
|
| The little lies of London Town
|
| And the last train’s leaving in the last'
|
| City should come to life
|
| All the white hat boys and the high street boys
|
| Doing what they need to survive
|
| This isn’t no place when you’re feeling down
|
| It chews you up and spits you out
|
| Can you hear the people talking on the underground
|
| The little lies of London Town |
