This Is London (Album Version) - The Airborne Toxic Event
This is London the place
Where you're a god or a disgrace
The whole wide world at your feet
To see the look upon your face
And you watch the BBC and you think
"Well what if that was me "
Such a promising life to waste
You told me "Just be brave
Remember all the gifts you gave
And how you felt like you were saved
Like you were singing from beyond the grave "
And you said you'd wait for me
Until the day I could sing on key
"There's just something about your face "
Then you'd call I could feel your body
Fall down next to me
I wanted us to be fast asleep
Closer than anything to me
Like we were home again
There was just no way to know
What was real and what was show
A future unfolding before my eyes
And a past that I could not let go
And how the feeling is so deep
When you're running down the London streets
Like there's nowhere left to go
Among the faceless dizzy whores
The unimaginable bores
Evenings stumbling from the pub
And mornings shivering on the floor
And then the careless way you say
"Yeah we were just glad we got to play "
When you're empty to the core
Then you'd call I could feel your body
Fall down next to me
I wanted us to be fast asleep
Closer than anything to me
Like we were home again
I'm so tired of the rain
This is London the place
Where you get lost without a trace
Among the beautiful remains
Of this shattered human race
And all the words that go unsaid
All the sacrifices of the dead
"We'll fall quietly into the past
Or we'll just burn the streets instead"
In the clamoring of the crowd
You think "I'll just stay quiet instead "
All the fallen dizzy angels crawling
Through the street
The pleas of people weary on their feet
And you're half a world away from me
As the clouds drown the light
I wonder where you are tonight
