Washed up in Coketown, down and halfway dead Holes in my pockets, holes in my head I was walking on the water, I was staring at the blue Walking down the street and I started falling through CHORUS So here's to you, whoever you may be You that held me up when I was sinking in the sea If you were in Kiltartan and me in Katmandu I still would not forget you, and I'd do the same for you Half a million strangers without a hand to lend Anyone I talked to was my oldest friend A barman or a policeman, a lamppost or a dog I heard the Virgin Mary singing in the fog CHORUS x2
