lyrics

OH PICCADILLY

I pass two girls waiting
As I leave the station
They’re too drunk to know
If the world is still turning
And why, and one of them laughs
And one of them sings

And I smile to remember
A time I remember
A smile for something tender
We survived, when the neon lights flashed
Like planes in our eyes

But oh Piccadilly
You’re no fun anymore
The tourists don’t fall
Under your wheels like before
And oh Piccadilly
Tell me stories
Of men with no voices
And all we have lost
A young man wants a second glance
A beggar wants a little change
A lover wants another chance
Another on a promise
Just wants a small advance
Over here bit by bit
Over there step by step
I left you behind
My glorious youth
Where are you now?
Oh Piccadilly
Oh Piccadilly

When you smiled through lipstick
The colour of roses
As we sat with our backs
To the coffee cups stacked
On the bar, and the night and the rain
Brought the taxis alive

Just a slip of a girl
And I slipped and I fell
In love with you, what more is there
To say, how the memory clings on
To all the years give away

But oh Piccadilly
You’re no fun anymore
The tourists don’t fall
Under your wheels like before
And oh Piccadilly
Tell me stories
Of men with no voices
And all we have lost
A young man wants a second glance
A beggar wants a little change
A lover wants another chance
Another on a promise
Just wants a small advance
Over here bit by bit
Over there step by step
I left you behind
My fraudulent youth
Where did you go?
Oh Piccadilly
Oh Piccadilly
