| [00:43.63] |
This city never sleeps |
| [00:47.43] |
I hear the people walk by when it's late |
| [00:51.33] |
Sirens bleed through my windowsill |
| [00:54.00] |
I can't close my eyes |
| [00:55.65] |
Don't control what I'm into |
| [01:00.85] |
This tower is alive |
| [01:05.00] |
The lights that blind keep me awake |
| [01:08.78] |
With my hood up and lace untied |
| [01:11.60] |
Sleep fills my mind |
| [01:13.23] |
Don't control what I'm into |
| [01:18.51] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [01:22.52] |
A traveller |
| [01:27.08] |
This is now my home, my home |
| [01:37.63] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [01:41.28] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [01:45.61] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [01:48.04] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [01:49.86] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [01:51.04] |
then that makes two |
| [01:53.17] |
The pavement is my friend |
| [01:57.05] |
And it'll take me where I need to go |
| [02:00.95] |
I find it trips me up |
| [02:03.87] |
and puts me down |
| [02:05.47] |
This is not what I'm used to |
| [02:10.69] |
The shop across the road |
| [02:14.72] |
fulfills my needs and gives me company |
| [02:17.19] |
when I need it |
| [02:18.61] |
Voices speak through my walls |
| [02:20.47] |
And I, I don't think I'm gonna make it |
| [02:22.92] |
past tomorrow |
| [02:28.19] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [02:32.18] |
A traveller |
| [02:36.85] |
This is now my home, my home |
| [02:47.39] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [02:50.91] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [02:55.35] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [02:57.78] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [02:59.61] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [03:00.68] |
then that makes two |
| [03:02.86] |
And my lungs hurt |
| [03:04.98] |
And my ears bled |
| [03:07.32] |
With the sound of the city life |
| [03:08.88] |
echoed in my head |
| [03:11.51] |
Do I need this to keep me alive? |
| [03:15.15] |
The traffic stops and starts |
| [03:16.57] |
But I need to move along |
| [03:28.53] |
I'm from a city where the rain won't cease |
| [03:30.28] |
Pollution in the air matches that on the street |
| [03:32.47] |
The black smoke gets your head into a muddle like |
| [03:34.57] |
walking into elephant syringes in the puddle like |
| [03:36.98] |
I was a country boy when I moved out |
| [03:38.91] |
Grew up too fast for my family to find out |
| [03:41.08] |
Now I try to stop my music running into nosedives |
| [03:43.14] |
Can't resort to arrogance with white lies |
| [03:44.96] |
Now |
| [03:45.83] |
This city won't erase me |
| [03:47.32] |
But I can't help to see how this dark city changed me |
| [03:49.94] |
It's all the same scene, music is my life |
| [03:51.65] |
But I try to fight whatever I need to hide from |
| [03:54.30] |
North, south, east, west, London's my home now |
| [03:56.85] |
Knees weak, but we never slow down |
| [03:58.50] |
Now I start to do my music properly |
| [04:00.47] |
And stay from all the negative shit that will follow me |
| [04:03.62] |
London calls me a stranger |
| [04:12.15] |
This is not my home |
| [04:18.62] |
Home |
| [04:22.45] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [04:26.15] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [04:30.48] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [04:32.80] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [04:34.66] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [04:35.88] |
then that makes two |
| [04:39.90] |
I'm burning on the back street |
| [04:43.44] |
Stuck here sitting in the backseat |
| [04:47.91] |
And I'm blazing on the street |
| [04:50.32] |
What I do isn't up to you |
| [04:52.14] |
And if the city never sleeps |
| [04:53.22] |
then that makes two |
| [04:54.63] |
