Lyrics
London
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Smoke lingers 'round your fingers
Train heave on to Euston
Do you think you've made
The right decision this time?
You left your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad because you're leaving
But did you see jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind?
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time?
You left your girlfriend on the platform
With this really ragged notion that you'll return
But she knows
That when he goes he really goes
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time?
