David Gray - Lights of London lyrics

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
