[00:00.000]This Is London (Album Version) - The Airborne Toxic Event
[00:15.258]This is London the place
[00:17.370]Where you're a god or a disgrace
[00:19.690]The whole wide world at your feet
[00:21.800]To see the look upon your face
[00:24.080]And you watch the BBC and you think
[00:27.070]"Well what if that was me"
[00:29.360]Such a promising life to waste
[00:36.230]You told me"Just be brave
[00:38.120]Remember all the gifts you gave
[00:40.450]And how you felt like you were saved
[00:42.560]Like you were singing from beyond the grave"
[00:44.830]And you said you'd wait for me
[00:47.190]Until the day I could sing on key
[00:50.250]"There's just something about your face"
[00:56.820]Then you'd call I could feel your body
[01:00.540]Fall down next to me
[01:04.430]I wanted us to be fast asleep
[01:08.300]Closer than anything to me
[01:11.170]Like we were home again
[01:27.030]There was just no way to know
[01:29.530]What was real and what was show
[01:31.650]A future unfolding before my eyes
[01:33.810]And a past that I could not let go
[01:36.120]And how the feeling is so deep
[01:38.440]When you're running down the London streets
[01:41.190]Like there's nowhere left to go
[01:47.670]Among the faceless dizzy whores
[01:50.350]The unimaginable bores
[01:52.580]Evenings stumbling from the pub
[01:54.670]And mornings shivering on the floor
[01:57.020]And then the careless way you say
[01:59.330]"Yeah we were just glad we got to play"
[02:02.240]When you're empty to the core
[02:08.910]Then you'd call I could feel your body
[02:12.590]Fall down next to me
[02:16.250]I wanted us to be fast asleep
[02:20.180]Closer than anything to me
[02:23.200]Like we were home again
[02:28.630]I'm so tired of the rain
[02:55.210]This is London the place
[02:57.080]Where you get lost without a trace
[02:59.130]Among the beautiful remains
[03:01.520]Of this shattered human race
[03:03.960]And all the words that go unsaid
[03:06.260]All the sacrifices of the dead
[03:08.510]"We'll fall quietly into the past
[03:10.750]Or we'll just burn the streets instead"
[03:13.160]In the clamoring of the crowd
[03:15.480]You think"I'll just stay quiet instead"
[03:24.710]All the fallen dizzy angels crawling
[03:29.600]Through the street
[03:32.160]The pleas of people weary on their feet
[03:36.150]And you're half a world away from me
[03:39.020]As the clouds drown the light
[03:44.330]I wonder where you are tonight
