|
A trader in furs living in exile |
|
Boy what a kook |
|
Look at that passport |
|
Stale bread and paper without privilege |
|
If you live here learn the language |
|
When the rain hit the roof |
|
With the sound of a finished kiss |
|
Like when a lip lifts from a lip |
|
I took the wrong road round |
|
A room in a lighthouse |
|
Near the park |
|
The ghosts in the next room hear you cough |
|
Time drags on sundays spent in mayfair |
|
With all your riches, why aren't you there? |
|
The wind acts like a magnet |
|
And pulls the leaf from the tree |
|
And the town's lost its breath |
|
I took the wrong road round |
|
Handsome is good, pretty is better |
|
What was that phrase |
|
Grace under pressure? |
|
Blind by the light bulb |
|
Blood to the bank |
|
Lost all yours letters when the ship sank |
|
In the disjointed breaking light |
|
The soft blue approach of the water |
|
Makes a sound you won't forget |
|
I took the wrong road round |
|
Stranded at low-tide where the river bends |
|
Wouldn't you know it, that's how life ends |
|
Lucky at cards, that's an old lie |
|
Lucky in love, that's how life ends |
|
Well the turncoats turned around |
|
When they heard the sound of the bell |
|
Dropped their coins into the well |
|
I took the wrong road round |
|
Started out oliver, ended up fagin |
|
Don't you worry, it's my problem |
|
What's my name, what's my number? |
|
I'm the lonely one |
|
It's just at the end of the day |
|
When the light makes its slow move away |
|
That i know all i can say is |
|
I took the wrong road round |
|
Gambled with risk |
|
Paid you back with risk |
|
So now you know who your friends are |
|
They'll steel your shadow when your back's turned |
|
Bouquets of flowers |
|
Lesson's over |
|
When the rain hit the roof |
|
With the sound of a finished kiss |
|
Like when a lip lifts from a lip |
|
I took the wrong road round |
