Entry for Round Two (Inner City Blues) - eJay FE League 2004
Lyrics
London’s a lonely city
Cold as winter
And bleaker than an empty park
Although there’s always life here
It passes me by
And fades away as it grows dark
There’s over seven million
People to choose
And I only need one of them
But with all the choice around here
You never quite choose
A secret sorrow in London
So just once in a lifetime
Someone to give
Some peace of mind
But we’re too busy
Rushing past the people we can’t find
There’s always so much pressure
Ready to strike
A different rage for every day
We hardly see each other
We hurry on by
Feel fear if someone looks our way
Hearts grow old and cautious
Easy to break
And life’s too short to risk the pain
But until my heart stops beating
I’ll hope for spring time
I want to feel that warmth again
Just once in a lifetime
Someone to give
Some peace of mind
But we’re too busy
Rushing past the people we can’t find
So just once in a lifetime
Someone to give
Some peace of mind
But we’re too busy
Rushing past the people we could find
