Intro

 V1: they're pacing picadilly in packs again

  and moaning for the mercy of a never come rain

  the sun's had enough and the shimmering sky

  has the heave and the hugh of the woman on fire

  shop shutters rattle down and i'm cutting the crowd

  all scented and descending from the satellite towns

  the neon is graffiti singing 'make a new start'

  so i look for a plot where i can bury my broken heart

 C1: no, i know i won't forget you, but i'll forget myself

  if the city will forgive me

 V2: the man on the door has a head like mars

  like a baby born to the doors of the bars

  and surrounded by steam with his folded arms

  he's got that urban genie thing going on

  he's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace

  saint peter in satin, he's like budah with mace

  he's so mercifully free of the pressures of grace

  saint peter in satin, he's like budah with mace

 C2: no, i know i won't forget you, but i'll forget myself

  if the city will forgive me

  no, i know i won't forget you, but i'll forget myself

  if the city will forgive me

 MID: do you move through the room with a glass in your hand?

  thinking too hard about the way you stand?

  are you watching them pair off and drinking them long?

  falling in love every second song

  do you move through the room with a glass in your hand?

  thinking too hard about the way you stand?

  are you watching them pair off and drinking them long?

  are you falling in love are you falling in love

are you falling in love every second song?
