Intro

Verse one

There were blue skies in my city today

Ev'ry thing was sinking, said snow would come on Sunday

 The old school was due and the traffic grew

 Up on the Westway

Verse two

 Where I stood watching comets on their lonesome trails

Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell

Down to Earth where the money always comes first

And the sirens sing

Instrumental

Verse three

Bring us the day they switch off the machines

'Cos men in yellow jackets, putting adverts inside my dreams

 An automated song and the whole world gone

Fallen under the spell of the

Verse four

Distance between us when we communicate

Still picking up shortwave, somewhere they're out in space

 It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire

Under the Westway

Instrumental

Verse five

 Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull

Doing 180 still standing at last call

 When the flag's coming down, and the Last Post sounds

Just like a love song

Verse six

For the way I feel about you

Paradise not lost, it's in you

 On a permanent basis I apologise

But I am going to sing

Verse seven

Hallelujah

Sing it out loud and sing it to you

 Am I lost out at sea, 'til a tide wash me

Up off the Westway.
