"Lights Of London" lyrics
"Lights Of London"
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

The Verve - "Sonnet" My friend and me
Looking through her red box of memories
Faded I'm sure
But love seems to stick in her veins you know
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes,...
Snow Patrol - "Open Your Eyes" All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old
The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these...
James Taylor - "Fire And Rain" Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can't remember who to send it to....
Eva Cassidy - "Over The Rainbow" Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
In the land that I heard of once, once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true....
Joan Armatrading - "Love And Affection" I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing
With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really...
