Roman Candle - Starting From Scratch lyrics

It's a long walk down from my door to the Cadogan Hotel But I make it every night when the sky gets dark The serpentine is black and doesn't show a single star And I'm just off work and walking through the park Girls in evening clothes are talking on the phone Got their bags from knightsbridge and their walking home Can't distract me honey I know where I'm going To sit down with a g & t and watch the night so long Well the drinks they pour at this bar never run too cheap And I've got no plans to meet anyone it's clear But the history in this postal code runs deep And it might be lost on most of the ones in here I can't say for certain honey where I'm bound I've got no rich relations, got no extra time But when they shut this bar tonight I know I'm going To walk down by the riverbank and watch the night so fine I don't know how other folks get by But there's one thing that I've learned for fact There's a music you can only hear When you're starting from scratch A roach's wings are fluttering soft and clear In the midnight of this quiet flat There's a music you can only hear When you're starting from scratch
