Song | Lost In London (25 Years Later) |
Artist | The Tangent |
Album | Not As Good As The Book |
For some strange reason we decided to talk about sex | |
It was a Wednesday at half past nine | |
The conversation just seemed to wander there, | |
Besides we'd done prog two million times | |
I met the teenage boy in you I never knew was there, | |
And caught a glimpse of festivals when you had longer hair | |
We're stranded outside a Soho jazz club now | |
Neither of us has a mobile phone | |
The guy we need see is just inside the door | |
But he might as well still be in Malmo | |
We talk about our kids a bit and wish that we were them | |
And hark back to our younger days again | |
Somewhere in this leering city there beats a heart (I'm told) | |
And Ian and I keep trying to find it on two very different roads | |
It seems that no-one even sees us, the kids just seem so cold | |
So please send your answers on a postcard... | |
Are me and Ian old? | |
Some sleazy guy just sidles up beside us and says: | |
“Hello lads, you looking for someone for a bit of a good time?” | |
He looks quite puzzled when I say “yeah... Krister Jonsson” | |
'Cos that's not what he had in mind | |
And I feel just like a fool as we head into the tube | |
But suddenly we're laughing all the way home |
