Current song lyrics
A city freeze<br />Get on your knees<br />Pray for warmth and green paper.<br />A city drought<br />You're down and out<br />See your trousers don't taper.<br />Saddle up<br />Kick your feet<br />Ride the range of a London street<br />Travel to a local plane<br />Turn around and come back again.<br /><br />And at the chime of the city clock<br />Put up your road block<br />Hang on to your crown.<br />For a stone in a tin can<br />Is wealth to the city man<br />Who leaves his armour down.<br /><br />Stay indoors<br />Beneath the floors<br />Talk with neighbours only.<br />The games you play<br />Make people say<br />You're either weird or lonely.<br />A city star<br />Won't shine too far<br />On account of the way you are<br />And the beads <br />Around your face<br />Make you sure to fit back in place.<br /><br />And at the beat of the city drum<br />See how your friends come in twos;<br />Or threes or more.<br />For the sound of a busy place<br />Is fine for a pretty face<br />Who knows what a face is for.<br /><br />The city clown<br />Will soon fall down<br />Without a face to hide in.<br />And he will lose<br />If he won't choose<br />The one he may confide in.<br />Sonny boy<br />With smokes for sale<br />Went to ground with a face so pale<br />And never heard<br />About the change<br />Showed his hand and fell out of range.<br /><br />In the light of a city square<br />Find out the face that's fair<br />Keep it by your side.<br />When the light of the city falls<br />You fly to the city walls<br />Take off with your bride.<br /><br />But at the chime of a city clock<br />Put up your road block<br />Hang on to your crown.<br />For a stone in a tin can<br />Is wealth to the city man<br />Who leaves his armour down.
