When the Thames Froze

Goddamn, this snow

Will I ever get where I wanna go?

And so I skate across the Thames

Hand in hand with all my friends

And all the things that we planned

My son's eyes in the outline of his hand

And even though I hate the cold

A constant reminder that I'm getting old

Another year draws to its close

Entire London slows

When I dream tonight, I'll dream of you

And when the Thames froze

Goddamn this government

Will they ever tell me where the money went?

Protesters march out on the street

As young men sleep amongst the feet

Another year draws to its close

Entire London slows

When I dream tonight, I'll dream of you

And when the Thames froze

So, tell everyone that there's hope in your heart

Tell everyone or it will tear you apart

At the end of Christmas day

When there's nothing left to say

The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last

So, tell everyone that there's hope in your heart

Tell everyone or it will tear you apart

At the end of Christmas day

When there's nothing left to say

The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last

And so, tell everyone that there's hope in your heart

And tell everyone or it'll tear you apart

At the end of Christmas day

When there's nothing left to say

The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last
