John Cale - Scotland Yard lyrics

When the hungry days are gone Then came the hungry nights Holding on to what you've got Standing in the spotlight They'll show you mostly What they want you to see Walking the city at midnight And whistling in the dark Many times you've been down there And seen the mess they make Putting on your party face Occasionally it's fake Sometime in the future When you were carefully Trying to do the right thing And showing some discipline Living, knowing you've done nothing wrong Living, as if you've done something wrong You knew it could happen You knew that it would You knew it could happen Who's been causing problems In the neighbourhood Who's been breaking windows Generally misunderstood Living, living in Scotland Yard Living, living in Scotland Yard You knew it could happen You knew that it would You knew it could happen You knew that it would Living in, living in Scotland Yard Living in, living in Scotland Yard Living in - did the right thing Living in Scotland Yard - in the end Living in - did the right thing Living in Scotland Yard - in the end Living in - did the right thing Living in Scotland Yard - in the end
