Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wander lonely streets
Behind where the old Thames does flow
And in every face I meet
Reminds me of what I have run for
[Verse 2]
In every man, in every hand, in every kiss you understand
That livin' is for other men, I hope you do understand
[Verse 3]
I've gotta tell you my tale
Of how I loved and how I failed
I hope you understand
All these feelin's should not be in the man
[Verse 4]
In every child, in every eye, in every sky above my head
I hope that I know, so come with me in bed because
It's you and me, we're history, there ain't nothin' left to say
When I will get you alone
[Verse 5]
Maybe we could find a room
Where we could see what we should do
Maybe you know it's true
Livin' with me is like keepin' a fool
[Verse 6]
In every man, in every hand, in every kiss you understand
That livin' is for other men, I hope you know that I am me
So come on, I'm thinkin' about history
And I'm livin' for history and I think you know about me 'cause I am
[Verse 7]
And one and one is two but three is company
When you're thinkin' about the things you do
And you're thinkin' about the things you do
[Verse 8]
I wanna tell you my tale
And how I fell in love and jumped out on my bail
Do you understand?
There's more in a smile than in a hand
[Verse 9]
In every sky, in every kiss, there's one thing that you might've missed
And why am I goin' to a place that now belongs to you?
But you were mean and so am I, let's pick it up, let's even try
To live today so why not smile? Don't dream away your life
[Verse 10]
'Cause it is mine, it is mine
Is that a crime? Is that a crime?
This life is mine, but the bed ain't made
It's filled full of hope, I've got a skin full of dope
[Verse 11]
Oh, the bed ain't made, but it's filled full of hope
I've got skin full of dope
