Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They're pacing Piccadilly in packs again
They're moaning for the mercy of a never come rain
The sun's had enough, and the simmering sky
Has the heave and the hue of a woman on fire
[Verse 2]
Shop shutters rattle down, and I'm caught in the crowd
All scented and descending from the satellite towns
The neon is graffiti, singin' "Make a new start"
So I look for a plot where I can bury my broken heart
[Verse 3]
No, I know I won't forget you
But I'll forget myself, if the city will forgive me
[Verse 4]
The man on the door has a head like Mars
Like a baby born to the doors of the bars
And surrounded by steam with his folded arms
She's got that urban genie thing goin' on
[Verse 5]
He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace
Saint Peter in satin, he's like Buddha with mace
He's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace
Saint Peter in satin, he's like Buddha with mace
[Verse 6]
No, I know I won't forget you
But I'll forget myself, if the city will forgive me
No, I know I won't forget you
But I'll forget myself, if the city will forgive me
[Verse 7]
Do you move through the room with a glass in your hand?
Thinkin' too hard about the way you stand
Are you watchin' 'em pair off and drinkin' along?
Fallin' in love every second song
[Verse 8]
Do you move through the room with a glass in your hand?
Thinkin' too hard about the way you stand
Are you watchin' 'em pair off and drinkin' 'em long?
Are you fallin' in love?
Are you fallin' in love?
Are you fallin' in love every second song?
[Verse 9]
No, I know I won't forget you
But I'll forget myself, if the city will forgive me
No, I know I won't forget you
But I'll forget myself, and the city will forgive me
