[00:42.160]There were blue skies in my city today
[00:49.830]Everything was sinking,
[00:52.080]said snow would come on sunday
[00:55.350]The old school was due and the traffic grew
[01:02.020]Up on the Westway
[01:04.160]Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
[01:08.660]
[01:11.370]Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
[01:17.640]Down to earth where the money always comes first
[01:22.640]And the sirens sing
[01:25.890]
[01:45.920]Bring us the day they switch off the machines
[01:50.410]
[01:52.860]Cos men in yellow jackets putting adverts
[01:56.610]inside my dreams
[01:58.480]An automated song and the whole world gone
[02:04.550]Fallen under the spell of
[02:07.200]The distance between us when we communicate
[02:13.810]Still picking up shortwave,
[02:15.820]somewhere they're out in space
[02:19.480]It depends how you're wired
[02:22.560]when the night's on fire
[02:25.690]Under the Westway
[02:28.880]
[02:43.360]Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
[02:51.210]Doing one eighty still standing at last call
[02:56.230]When the flags coming down
[02:59.120]and the Last Post sounds
[03:02.620]Just like a love song
[03:05.190]For the way I feel about you
[03:11.350]Paradise's not lost, it's in you
[03:17.250]On a permanent basis I apologise
[03:23.750]But I am going to sing
[03:30.070]Hallelujah
[03:34.250]Sing it out loud and sing it to you
[03:39.630]Am I lost out at sea
[03:42.830]'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway
