Lights of London - David Gray

Was there in your cage

When your lion got tamed

Was up on your stage

When your childhood flamed

The sorrow and rage

But it ain’t no game

To me now

All the lights in London shining now

Slow ye down and stay awhile

All the lights in London shining now

Standing in line

With these abstract gifts

Counting the time

As the dragnet shifts

A quarter to nine

and the gray cloud lifts

Away now

All the lights in London shining now

Slow ye down and stay awhile

All the lights in London falling down

Hearing you say

With your perspect’s tongue

Walking the way

Where the dreams get flung

Was never your thing

When it all goes wrong

To worry

Whoa-oa

All the lights in London shining now

Slow ye down and stay awhile

All the lights in London shining now

Interlude

Telling a lie

Cause the truth just stinks

Out in the mud

Where the lightning sinks

Wishing you could

As the strip light blinks

Away now

Whoa-oa

All the lights in London shining now

Slow ye down and stay awhile

All the lights in London falling down

All of London falling down

All of London falling down

All of London
