歌曲歌詞
Outside my window not long before sleep arrives
They come with their sirens and
they sweep away all the boys
Busy draining the joy from their lives
They never said their prayers out loud
And while I'm dreaming
there's a passing motor car
That broadcasts a popular song
And a girl appears to be saying
Do you think that
I'm going to go far
Just look at me I'm having the time
Of my life or something quite like it
When I'm walking out and about
In London's brilliant parade
She's one of those girls that you just can't place
You feel guilty desiring such an innocent face
But of course they knew that when they cast her
Along with the red Route master
And the film takes place in an MGB
And a perfect re-creation of 'The Speakeasy'
Everybody looks happy and twisted
Though she probably never existed
For old times sake
Don't let me awake
I wouldn't want you to walk across
Hungerford Bridge especially at twilight
Looking through the bolts and the girders
Into the water below
you'll never find your answer there
They sounded the all-clear in the occidental bazaar
