	作词 : Costello
	Outside my window
	Not long before sleep arrives
	They come with their sirens
	And they sweep away all the boys
	Busy draining the joy from their lives
	They never said their prayers out loud
	And while i'm dreaming
	There's a passing motor car
	That broadcasts a popular song
	And a girl appears to be saying
	'do you think that i'm going to go far?'
	First chorus:
	Just look at me
	I'm having the time of my life
	Or something quite like it
	When i'm walking out and about
	In london's brilliant parade
	She's one of those girls that you just can't place
	You feel guilty desiring such an innocent face
	But of course they knew that when they cast her
	Along with the red routemaster
	And the film takes place in an mgb
	And a perfect re-creation of 'the speakeasy'
	Everybody looks happy and twisted
	Though she probably never existed
	For old times' sake
	Don't let me awake
	I wouldn't want you to walk across hungerford bridge
	Especially at twilight
	Looking through the bolts and the girders
	Into the water below
	You'll never find your answer there
	They sounded the 'all-clear' in the occidental bazaar
	They used to call oxford street
	Now the bankrupt souls in the city
	Are finally tasting defeat
	Second chorus:
	Don't look at me
	I'm having the time of my life
	Or something quite like it
	When i'm walking out and about
	In london's brilliant parade
	When i'm walking out and about
	In london's brilliant parade
	From the gates of st. mary's, there were horses in olympia
	And a trolley bus in fulham broadway
	The lions and the tigers in regents park
	Couldn't pay their way
	And now they're not the only ones
	At the hammersmith palais
	In kensington and camden town
	There's a part that i used to play;
	The lovely diorama is really part of the drama, i'd say
[2x]	First chorus
