This Is London (Album Version) - The Airborne Toxic Event[00:00:00]
This is London the place[00:00:15]
Where you're a god or a disgrace[00:00:17]
The whole wide world at your feet[00:00:19]
To see the look upon your face[00:00:21]
And you watch the BBC and you think [00:00:24]
"Well what if that was me "[00:00:27]
Such a promising life to waste [00:00:29]
You told me "Just be brave [00:00:36]
Remember all the gifts you gave [00:00:38]
And how you felt like you were saved [00:00:40]
Like you were singing from beyond the grave "[00:00:42]
And you said you'd wait for me[00:00:44]
Until the day I could sing on key[00:00:47]
"There's just something about your face "[00:00:50]
Then you'd call I could feel your body[00:00:56]
Fall down next to me [00:01:00]
I wanted us to be fast asleep [00:01:04]
Closer than anything to me [00:01:08]
Like we were home again [00:01:11]
There was just no way to know[00:01:27]
What was real and what was show[00:01:29]
A future unfolding before my eyes [00:01:31]
And a past that I could not let go[00:01:33]
And how the feeling is so deep[00:01:36]
When you're running down the London streets[00:01:38]
Like there's nowhere left to go [00:01:41]
Among the faceless dizzy whores [00:01:47]
The unimaginable bores [00:01:50]
Evenings stumbling from the pub [00:01:52]
And mornings shivering on the floor[00:01:54]
And then the careless way you say [00:01:57]
"Yeah we were just glad we got to play "[00:01:59]
When you're empty to the core [00:02:02]
Then you'd call I could feel your body[00:02:08]
Fall down next to me [00:02:12]
I wanted us to be fast asleep [00:02:16]
Closer than anything to me [00:02:20]
Like we were home again [00:02:23]
I'm so tired of the rain [00:02:28]
This is London the place[00:02:55]
Where you get lost without a trace[00:02:57]
Among the beautiful remains[00:02:59]
Of this shattered human race[00:03:01]
And all the words that go unsaid [00:03:03]
All the sacrifices of the dead [00:03:06]
"We'll fall quietly into the past[00:03:08]
Or we'll just burn the streets instead"[00:03:10]
In the clamoring of the crowd [00:03:13]
You think "I'll just stay quiet instead "[00:03:15]
All the fallen dizzy angels crawling[00:03:24]
Through the street [00:03:29]
The pleas of people weary on their feet [00:03:32]
And you're half a world away from me [00:03:36]
As the clouds drown the light [00:03:39]
I wonder where you are tonight[00:03:44]
