Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down on Leicester Square
In the rain
Where the rubbish comes in piles
And the art comes in spades
[Verse 2]
Down on Leicester Square
In the rain
The night time drifts in
Despite the illuminescence
It covers all manner of dark things
[Verse 3]
The night time drifts in
Covers all manner of dark and small things
When I round the corner
I turned to my very well-known comrade, and I said
There lies the dustman
There lies the popcorn seller
There lies the director
And his clapperboard clapper
[Verse 4]
My public needs its images
My public needs its confidences
[Verse 5]
And I'm in love
And I'm in love with a British film star
You demand and I supply it
[Verse 6]
Hollywood is no longer a place
Hollywood rains acid in your face
[Verse 7]
There was a film released in Cannes last week
A sad and empty red carpet
Unclaimed seats
The great plains across an untamed west
But it was three stars at best
It was three stars at best
[Verse 8]
Down on Charing Cross Road, in the rain
I realized I was in love, I was in love
With a holographic representation of a singer
We all used to know very well
[Verse 9]
Well there lies the milkman
There lies the philosopher
There lies the commuter and his season ticket holder
[Verse 10]
My public needs its images
My public wants my confidences
[Verse 11]
'Cause I'm in love
I'm in love with the phrase, game changer
What does it even mean?
[Verse 12]
And I'm in love
With an animatronic dog
And I'm, I'm in love with a zero percent finance sofa
I'm in love with James Corden's Carpool Karaoke
I'm in love with a picture
Of myself
