Seven Dials

In Seven Dials we found a place to hide

In those dens of noise and fire

Sailing to oblivion on a raging sea

We burned through gin-soaked hours

And we felt like we were free

In Seven Dials we squandered all we stole

Dressed in threads of silk and linen

Lying in the gutter staring at the stars

They knew just where to find us

Knew we’d never get that far

But didn’t we burn brightly

Didn’t we run wild

The shining lights of Soho

The Legends of Seven Dials

Never felt the cold wind till it came

Thought our time would last forever

Never learnt my lesson until I lost it all

That nothing last forever every empire’s gotta fall

But didn’t we burn brightly

Didn’t we run wild

The shining lights of Soho

The Legends of Seven Dials

Maybe there’s a green field

Maybe there’s a stream

Maybe there’s another life

Beyond this broken dream

Still the caged bird keeps on singing

These dirty streets are all I’ve ever known

But didn’t we burn brightly

Didn’t we run wild

The shining lights of Soho

The Legends of Seven Dials
