Oysterband - The Lost And Found lyrics

This is the hour when the city turns blue This is the time of the lost and found They loose the nutters in the Underground Everything's far and nothing is true When the streets don't feel like a neutral zone Or the stranger's eye like a neutral glance The very next step might blow your chance Of finding your way home alone — Look sharp It's like an opening door, look sharp It's what we came here for, look sharp You never know what the wind may blow And your life's like the voice in the room upstairs Raised to someone you never hear You can try and try, it never comes clear Are you swearing or saying your prayers? But the eyes are wide that were shut for shame Dogs in their backyards jump up and bark Hull and Halifax wake in the dark Like someone was calling their name — Look sharp It's like an opening door, look sharp It's what we came here for, look sharp You never know what the wind may blow This is the hour when the city turns blue This is the time of the lost and found There's no saviours hanging around Keeping a watch over you There's words on the wall and a stinking lift I hold my breath to the 14th floor Empty-handed I knock at your door My empty hands are my gift — Look sharp It's like an opening door, look sharp It's what we came here for, look sharp You never know what the wind may blow
