The sky won in my city today
She was so blue she swallowed the Monday
On the 52
As the traffic grew
Upon the Westway
Here I sat watching comets, lonesome trails
Shining up above me
The jet fuel it fell
Down to earth
Where the money always comes first
And the chorus sings
Where is the day they switch off the machines?
The men in yellow jackets put adverts in my dreams
Government why do you always lie
But I soon know
Captain hit the rocks so he had to fall
Throwing you love would
Suffer the rising call
For radical change
'cause your mind's deranged
If you think I want to be like that
I ain't cruel
You're as tied to me
As I am to you
All aboard
Take the lifeboats home
that may defend us
It's pouring out of us today
La la la la la la la la
And it's pouring out us today
La la la la la la la la
Sold the world like everyone else does
Cock and Bull
I downed a rum or two with you
I dream of the sun
I dream the sun like everyone else does
Work's done
On Friday night in public houses
We are wonderful, pathetic, or just
Plain gone
So it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one eighty while sounding the call
And the flags coming down
And the last post sounds just like a love song
For the way I feel about you
Forgetting paradise, it's with you
On a permanent basis I apologize
But I am going to sing hallelujah
Sing it out loud, sing it to you
Always lost in the sea
'Till the tide it washes over me
