Sleepy head get out of bed
Big bad world is calling
Step in your shoes and catch the news
It's another morning
Morning,
It's morning
Morning,
It's morning again
Rub your eyes as nature sighs
The population's yawning
Just step in your shoes there's so much to do
It's a brand new morning
Morning,
It's morning
Morning,
ItÅ morning again
And all around this cardboard town
The cops are crawling
The sirens scream and break your dreams
It's morning
It's morning
It's morning
Coast to coast
Side to side
Shines the minds of fine enlightend
minds coast to coast
We are only youngbut we style our future with a cattle gun
We are idle rich
so we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch
Cause when the fire light shocks like a cop shop pyre
we'll jack the politics for premonition and fire
and we'll move like Nuryev at night
Coast to coast
Side to side
Shines the light of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast
We are only young
but we style out future in the shadow of guns
We are not idle rich
so we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch
cause when the stylized kick of the filmstar whip,
cracks down on the millions, cracks the kids on the hips
we'll be moving like Nuryev at night
Coast to coast
Side to side
shines the light of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coast
Side to side
feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast
Side to side
blades engraved with babies' nameswhile pylons hide the suicide
Coast to coast
Side to sideshines the light of fine enlightened minds
Coast to coastSide to side
feel the steel that shines outside the blinds
Coast to coast
Side to side
You belong among the wild flowers
picked at the side of the road,
You belong among the silent hours
and broken telephones,
You belong among the TV screens
with sound turned down again,
You belong where there's CCTV
watching you every day,
Well you beautiful loser,
You beautiful lay,
You beautiful loser,
you're coming down the hard way,
You belong under electric lights
with the hand me down surrounds,
You belong out in the countryside
with your hands deep down in the ground,
Well you beautiful loser,
You beautiful lay,
You beautiful loser,
you're coming down the hard way,
Your brain is drip connected to the satellite,
Your heart is not a part of your brain,
Aesthetics and inventions
well they pass you by
And complicate your day....
You belong sat on a motorbike
doing 161 in the rain,
50cc thru the wild life
getting trashed in the slow lane,
You beautiful loser,
You beautiful lay,
You beautiful loser
I said you're coming down the hard way...
I see you're moving, see you're moving, moving in with her
You'll pierce your right ear, pierce your heart there
This skinny boy is one of the girls
cos around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
I see you're moving, see you're moving like wildlife from the waist
But when your name's scratched in on a shiny ring your waist is my resting place
And around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are
I know you've been inside but what were you in for?
In a hired car she will come to England from the sea
And as the tide flows the London snows will come.
And from the skyline shines the lies of the government's singular history
So in a hired world she will buy a gun
And she will come from India with a love in her eyes
That say oh how my dark star will rise
In rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man
But with a tattoed tit she'd die for us all tonight.
And she will come from India with a gun at her side,
Or she will come from Argentina
With her cemetery eyes that say
Oh, how my dark star will rise,
She takes the blame, takes the pain but the world smiles
'Cos outside is just a taxi ride to drive away
So she packs her bags, calls a cab and the world smiles
And inside well she feels all right and turns to say:
"Yes it's the end, the final showdown
Yes it's the end of our small love
You'll have to find another no one to take the shit like I have
Well I guess this is the end, I guess this is the end."
She feels the sun, phones her mum and the world smiles
'Cos outside in the morning light it's another day
So she packs her bag, smokes a fag and the world smiles
'Cos inside well she feels all right, and turns to say:
"Yes it's the end, the final showdown
Yes it's the end of our small love
You'll have to find another no one to take the shit like I have
Open up my heart and see what's inside
Take a look inside me, inside my mind
And you'll see my heart is broken in two
Cos I've seen the real you
Images of violence fill up my mind
And you see the silence, feel it inside
And you'll see my heart is broken in two
Cos I've seen the real you
So sad we seem, so far we've been
She knows the scene
And I see your heart is broken too
Cos we've seen the real you
When you're high on diesel nightly
And the traffic starts to roll
You smoke a cigarette and watch the black girls
In a white boys world
Anything is possible for the Bentswood boys
Where the karma comes with the kids and the cat food
You see Tina push the pram
'Cos she was on her back in his estate car
And in the back of his van
Anything is possible for the Bentswood boys
For the Bentswood boys (things are happening)
For the Bentswood boys (mmm... tell it like it is!)
Don't take me down
Don't take me down
I was born as a pantomine horse
ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor
I was cut from the wreckage one day
this is what I get for being that way
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
I was conned by a circus hand
Tragic as the son of a superman
"I would die for the stars" she said
This is what I get for my beautiful head
Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them?
well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend?
We sit in silence
A marriage license
Is all you know
All you know, all you know
We sit and chew gum
Watch television
And you know
And you know, and you know
But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Oceans that drift away
Oceans that fade to grey
We sit and rot here
Resenting each year
Will you go?
Will you go, will you go?
We sing the old songs
The beat box plays on
And you know
And you know, and you know
But there's oceans between us
Light years that screen us
Like oceans we drift away
[Like] oceans we fade to grey
Between us there's oceans
There's life in slow motion
Quietly we drift away
Quietly we fade to grey
Come to my house tonight,
We can be together in the nuclear sky.
We wildance in the poison rain,
We can stay a while in heaven today.
Stay together
And say, these days ??
Stay together
Two hearts under the skies remain.
There's a time bomb in the high ?life?
There's a blue suburban dream.
Will I see you up in paradise?
Or have you come to touch me?
Come to my arms tonight,
You and me together on electric light.
She will dance in the poisoned air,
Just you and me forever by the motorway ??
Come to my arms or not,
Just you and me together in the year of the hawk.
Single file in the nuclear night,
well she's show showing it off then
the glitter in her lovely eyes
show show showing it off then
and all the people shake their money in time
she sells heart, she sells meat
oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see
we shake shake to the trumpet
and through the slippery city we ride
skyline swine on the circuit
where all the people shake their money in time
she sells heart, she sells meat
High on diesel and gasoline
Psycho for drum machine
Shaking their bits to the hits
Drag acts, drug acts, suicides
In your dad's suits you hide
Staining his name again
Cracked up, stacked up, 22
Psycho for sex and glue
Lost it to Bostik, yeah
Shaved heads, rave heads
On the pill, got too much time to kill
Get into bands and gangs
Oh, here they come
The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
Loved up, doved up
Oh, here they come
The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
Loved up, doved up
Loved up, doved up
Hung around, stoned in a lonely town
Shaking their meat to the beat
High on diesel and gasoline
Psycho for drum machine
Shaking their bits to the hits
Oh, here they come
The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
Loved up, doved up
Here they come
The beautiful ones, the beautiful ones
Loved up, doved up
You don't think about it
You don't do without it
Because you're beautiful
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me
La, la, la
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me
Whoa, whoa
And if your baby's going crazy
That's how you made me
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
And she's the colour of a magazine
And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh
And she's in fashion
Ouh Ouh Ouh
She's employed where the sun don't set
And she's the shape of a cigarette

And she's the colour of a magazine
Ah Ah
And if she tells you two is one
Then two is one my love
Ah Ah
And if she tells you you should know
Then you should know my love
She is strung out on a TV dream
And she's the taste of the gasoline
And she's as similar as you can get
To the shape of a cigarette
The sunshine will blow my mind
Dog man star took a suck on a pill
And stabbed a cerebellum with a curious quill
Europe, America, Winterland
Introducing the band
Chic thug stuttered through a stereo dream
A fifty knuckle shuffle heavy metal machine
The tears of suburbia drowned the land
Introducing the band
So steal me a savage, subservient son
Get him shacked-up, bloodied-up and sucking on a gun
I want the style of a woman, the kiss of a man
Introducing the band
And as the sci-fi lullaby starts to build
See them whipping all the women, cracked governments killed
Oh let the century die to violent hands
All the white kids shuffle to the heavy metal stutter
And go shaking on the scene like killing machines
And they know that when she's stacked up top
She'll be a sucker for the shotgun show
Shaking obscene like killing machines here we go
It's the same old show he's a killer he's a flash boy oh
He's a killer he's a flash boy oh
Oh if you shake your fake tan thru aerosol land you'll know
That you'll suffer your sex by the caravenettes oh no

Or shaking obscene like a killing machine here we go

He's a killer he's a flash boy oh...

So think of the sea my darling

It's the same old show, he's a killer, he's a flash boy oh
This is the killing of a flash boy oh.

There's a great big crack in the union jack

Don't you worry,

Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lovers in a lay-by with my little one.
Hey, such a lovely day, such a lovely day,
Such fun, looking at the lorries in the litter with my lovely one,
We could go dancing, we could go walking,
we could go shopping, we could keep talking,
we could go drinking, we could sit thinking,
She walks the streets of summer
Inside her there's no future
She walks the streets to pass the time
The cash machines are laughing
At plastic people passing
She walks the streets to pass the time
Sadie Sadie hear the sound of the streets
Insane as anything ah
Sadie Sadie knows the sound of the streets
It's insane as anything ah
She sees the midnight taxis
The toilets and the backstreets
She feels the wheels and needs a line
Outside there's crazy parties
There's painted faces laughing
So many ways to pass the time
Sadie, Sadie hear the sound of the streets
Insane as anything, ah
Sadie, Sadie knows the sound of the streets
It's insane as anything, ah
She walks the streets of summer
Inside here there's no future
She walks the streets to pass the time
Inside she feels like winter
For the child that died within her
She walks the streets to pass the time
Sadie, Sadie hear the sound of the streets
Insane as anything, ah ah

It's insane as anything, ah
All the people in your life say you're down
And the strangers in the night say you're down
And the loonies on the right say you're down and you're down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the traffic speeding by says you're down
And the people in your life say you're down and you're down
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile
And the people in the park say you're down
And the strangers in the dark say you're down
And the pissheads in the bars say you're down
And the audiences cry that you're down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the boyfriends in your life say you're down and you're down
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
"She-rocker you're wasting your time,
Cos you're only a girl"
She'rocker sacked the factory line for a chance of a dance in a surreal world
She said, "come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life"
She'rocker hear the audience scream for the death of the king
But a hand-job is all the butchery brings
Cos fame ain't as easy as him (how sad)
Oh, come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
come rescue, rescue me from this Hollywood life
Whiplash caught the silver son
Took the film to No. I
Crashed the car and left us here
Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid
Crashed the car and left us here.
And daddy burned a million eyes
Dared the dogs to criticise
He crashed the car and I was born
And daddy turned a million heads
Took the teenage dream to bed
He crashed the car and left us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields of destiny high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh Daddy's speeding
Whiplash caught the silver son
Killed the sad American
Crashed the car and left us here
And sorrow turns his eyes to mine
Come with me now it's your time
Let's crash the car and I'll be born
And sorrow breaks the silent day
Takes the teenage boys away
They crash the cars and leave us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields and death machines high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
shame on me well I had the beast you see
and if he can take it I can take him home with me
shame on her she's a lovely little number
and when we go lassoing you get lassoed, all of you
If you can take it, I can take it
And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy, we are a girl
so moving, so moving...
shame on the girl, she's got a big black dog in her
and while tough kids sing about tough kids she just skins the world
we'll never never play the harp, and we'll stick like sick on the stars
and if you can take it I can take these stones from my heart
if you can take it, I can take it
and we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy we are a girl
so moving, so moving....
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
If you can take it, I can take it all
If you can take it, I can take it, all of me
Back where the dogs bark
where still life bleeds the concrete white
try not to go too far inside your mind
back where the cars decide
where the lame star limps an endless mile
have I gone too far inside my mind?
oh if you were the one would I even notice now my mind has gone?
oh if you were the one, would I even notice?
Back where the car was parked
Where the canine in the A-line stole your time
you can only go so far for womankind
oh if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has come?
oh, if you were the one, would I even notice?
There's a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays
And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing that you could stay
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fields away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun
Oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today
There's a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day
Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain
But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves
We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow every day
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fears away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
There was a girl who flew the world from a lonely shore
Through southern snow to Heathrow to understand the law
There was a boy who loved the noise of the underground
He left the coast and overdosed on that London sound
He said,
"I don't care if you're black or blue,
me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
and I don't care for the U.K. tonight so stay, stay"
And then one day she moved away from those garden walls
She left some flowers, he smoked for hours
She understood the law
I don't care if you're black or blue
Me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
And I don't care for the U.K. tonight
So stay, stay, stay, stay.........
Sat on the metro with love on her mind
Intimate details of every kind
Opening doorways to secret rooms
Her emptiness calling to you
She give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something new
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too
Give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something rude
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too
A dangerous daughter in a leopard print skirt
A Polaroid camera recording the dirt
Intimate details of every scene
Opening doorways for me
She give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something new
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too
Give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something rude
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too
She give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something new
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too
Give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of subterfuge
Give a little bit of attitude

Listen to the music in your sleep
These are the sad songs, the broken words
These are the sad songs, the lies you've heard
These are the good times you keep inside
These are the good things that you can have if you try
Venus in Furs and An Occasional Dream
Sign o the Times and Bill is Dead

Listen to the music in your head
These are the sad songs, the broken words
These are the sad songs, the lies you've heard
These are the good times you keep inside
She was standing smoking counting stolen change
Don't someone have the guts to complain?
Said "superman I'm a big fan
Let's get something straight
Well you don't have the guts to complain"
Now your son's coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand in hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave
We should get together
I saw you standing smoking counting stolen change
But I don't have the guts to complain
Well I picked you up, got mixed up with you,
That's OK
'Cos now I've got the guts to complain
And now your son's coming out to play
Your son's coming out to play
When you're on your own
Standing by the phone
We should get together
Got a supermarket stance
Just taking it hand-in-hand
We should get together
Just think of the life you'll save
Not stuck in your early grave

If I was the wife of an acrobat...
Could of had it all...Could of had it all...
Where's all the money gone? - I'm talking to you,
All up the whole in your arm,
is the needle a much better screw?
But oh, what will you do alone? Cos I have to go.
Where is this life of fun that you promised me?
Nothing here works but your works and I mean it
I have to leave
But oh, what will you do alone? Cos I have to go.
If I was the wife of an acrobat would I look like the living dead, boy?
You're on the wire and can't get back,Let's talk about the living dead
Could have had a car, could have had it all,
Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall.
I know where the money's gone - I know what you do
Cos I've seen the hole in your arm and the needle's a much better screw
Is it my imagination or is that a cardboard sky?
Is it just a situation
that made me lose my mind?
I don't need you to be sorry
I just wanted you to know
That this is one hit to the body
One hit to the soul
It's one hit to the body
That won't show
It's a million constellations
up in the make-believe sky
And a million dead-end situations
you could leave behind
And the lights and the lorries
will show you which way to go
And this is one hit to the body
It's one hit to the soul
It's one hit to the body
That won't show
It's something in the air that you breathe
It's something in the books that you read
It's something in the things that you do
It's something in the words that you use
Cos the lights and the lorries
Will show you where you want to go
And this is one hit to the body
It's one hit to the soul
It's one hit to the body
That won't show
Well I don't really need anybody
I just wanted you to know
That this is one hit to the body
That won't show
That won't show

Have you ever been this low?
The taxis take you where you wanna go
Broken windows, endless television shows
I haven't ever been so low
I am the one, I sing the song
My lights are on but there's nobody home
So much happening today
A thousand people come and go and stay and fade away
They draw the blinds and watch the show
Have you ever been so low?
I am the one, I sing the song
My lights are on but there's nobody home
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She comes to me and I supply her with Ecstasy
Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city
Like big stars in the back seat like skeletons ever so pretty
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or her?
I know a girl she walks the asphalt world
She's got a friend, they share mascara I pretend
Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river
For these silent stars of the cinema
It's in the blood stream, it's in the liver
I know a girl, she walks the arse felt world
But where does she go?
And what does she do?
And how does she feel when she's next to you?
And who does she love in time-honoured fur?
Is it me or is it her?
With ice in her blood
And a Dove in her head
Well how does she feel when she's in your bed?
When you're there in her arms
And there in her legs
Well I'll be in her head
Cos that's where I go
And that's what I do
And that's how it feels when the sex turns cruel
come unto me my winter son
we could lie on the rails
and when the morning comes
we'll be miles away, miles away
slipping away while the city sleeps
running away from this cruel disease
miles away, miles away
modern boys, modern boys
hand in hand
sick of the fear
chasing away all the hungry years
we're the modern boys
come unto me my sickly thing
we could lie on the rails
but to really win
we'll just drive away, drive away
yes the world calls my international
so let the decades die
let the parties fall
and we'll be miles away, miles away
'cos we'll be living like
modern boys, modern boys
hand in hand
sick of the fear
chasing away all the hungry years
we're the modern boys, modern boys
into the night, under the stars
jumping the lights in the silent cars
he's on your left
i'm on your right
Oh when you and I
Watch the planes go by, silver in the sky,
Do whatever we like,
Oh you and me
See the birds in the sea
People on the streets, do whatever we please
But every Monday morning comes,
Every Monday morning, yeah
Oh every Monday morning comes
Every Monday morning, yeah
Oh, when you and I
Watch the London sky, Traffic rolling by
Do whatever we like,
So we chase the day away
Feel the morning rain
Piss our money down the drain
Through endless Asia, through the fields of Cathay
or enslaved in pebble-dash grave with a kid on the way
If you're far over Africa on the wings of youth
or if you're down in some satellite town and there's nothing you can do
Just give me, give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give me, give me the power
(Although I'm just the common breed)
You might live in a screen kiss, it's a glamorous dream
Or belong to a world that's gone, it's the English disease
But give me, give me the power
And I'll make them bleed
Give, give me, give me the power
I watch the slow hand
Kill the day,I see my starring mode
take away,
I watch the skyline,for him to come
And when he comes alone,we'll be gone.
And we'll go into the city,into the light
We'll be there in the headlines,
in care of the night
Cause this is the big time
this is the way
Now he's in the big time
he'll show you the way
This is the big time
This is the way
Now he's in the big time
I see you in my life, I see you on the screen
An ascending socialite, orbiting the scene
And everybody wants you now
Everybody wants to be a part of your crowd, ooh
Baby it seems
Sometimes you're lost in TV
Lost in a dream
(Instant sunshine)
Baby
We wandered through our minds with images and scenes
And with animated lives, rehearsing for our dreams
And everybody wants it now
Everybody wants to be a face in the crowd, ooh
Baby it seems
Sometimes we're lost in TV
Trapped in a screen
Lost in a scene
Lost in TV
(Instant sunshine)
Baby
Everybody wants it now
(Sunshine)
Everybody wants to be a face in the crowd, ooh
Baby it seems sometimes we're lost in TV
Lost in a dream
(Instant sunshine)
Dressed as a cowboy on top of a hill it's sadder than it probably sounds
He gets lovely the more he's ill don't o.d. on him now
Dressed as a woman with horrible hair and singing to the birds in town
Who goes walking through traffic out there don't o.d. on her now
Oh is it true what they say about you?
Oh is it true what they say about you two?
Married to me is a hungry son who wants to push me from the 2nd floor
We're so disco we can't get on in this world anymore
Oh, is it true what they say about you?
Oh, is it true what they say about you two?
Dressed as a cowboy in a permanent gag it's sadder than it probably sounds
So fucking what if he's licking the bag, don't o.d. on him now
Oh, is it true what they say about you?
Slipping through the city sliding train to train
Sulking on the subway music in our brain
She and me together in the city sounds
Me and mona lisa on the underground
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Slipping through the city sliding brain to brain
Sulking on the subway listening to the train
She and me together speed through space and time
Grafitti in our eyes and music in our mind
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Well the church bells are calling
Police cars on fire
And as they call you to the eye of the storm
All the people say "Stay at home tonight"
I say we are the pigs, we are the swine
We are the stars of the firing line
And as the smack cracks at your window
You wake up with a gun in your mouth
Oh let the nuclear wind blow away my sins
And I'll stay at home in my house
I say, we are the pigs
we are the swine
we are the stars of the firing line
But deceit can't save you so
Will you be my lover?
Will you be the one?
Will you be like no other?
For how long?
Yes, I'll be your wild flower
Grown through the concrete
And born to the back beats of the stars
Yes, I am just a stupid guy
Crushed like a, a butterfly
Dead eye at the drive by in a car
And I flies on a windscreen
Like insects in glue
We could stick together
If you wanted to
Yes, I'll be your wild flower
Grown through the concrete streets
And born to the back beat of the stars
Yes, I am just a stupid guy
Crushed like a, a butterfly
Dead eye at the drive by in a car
Yeah, just a stupid guy
Crushed like a, a butterfly
Come out tonight in the puddles
Splash some love across the sky
Just you and I bursting bubbles
As the sky is about to cry
When the rain falls
There's magic in our lives
When the rain falls
We're happy deep inside
When the rain falls
It cleans away the corners of our minds
When all the world looks like Atlantis
And the cars rusting in the drives
Just step outside & hit the concrete pavement
As the rain falls down for you and I
When the rain falls
The pretty people run
When the rain falls
The colours cloud the sun
When the rain falls
We'll sit and watch the children hurry home
One, two!
And when everything is blue or green or green or blue or grey
I cross the street
to catch the beat of my heart
And I watch it all
'cause there's nothing else to do today
And I watch it all fall so hard
Oh, day after day, every morning
The city sighs and cars collide
Oh we take the train
Through the winter hinterlands and garage bands
An we wash it away, we wash it away this grey
Wash it away
Oh, cos this time is yours and mine
Oh hear the city sound, see the lonely crowds
This scene is you and me
Oh in the lazy sun, we're the lonely ones
Oh, day after day, every morning
The roundabouts will take us out
Past every train in every station
Traffic signs and circle lines
Oh we wash it away, we wash it away this grey
Wash it away
Oh, cos this time is yours and mine
Oh hear the city sound, see the lonely crowds
This scene is you and me
