Elvis Costello - Londons Brilliant Parade слова песни
Outside my windowNot long before sleep arrivesThey come with their sirensAnd they sweep away all the boysBusy draining the joy from their livesThey never said their prayers out loudAnd while Im dreamingTheres a passing motor carThat broadcasts a popular songAnd a girl appears to be saying"do you think that Im going to go far? "First chorus:Just look at meIm having the time of my lifeOr something quite like itWhen Im walking out and aboutIn londons brilliant paradeShes one of those girls that you just cant placeYou feel guilty desiring such an innocent faceBut of course they knew that when they cast herAlong with the red routemasterAnd the film takes place in an mgbAnd a perfect re-creation of "the speakeasy"Everybody looks happy and twistedThough she probably never existedFor old times sakeDont let me awakeI wouldnt want you to walk across hungerford bridgeEspecially at twilightLooking through the bolts and the girdersInto the water belowYoull never find your answer thereThey sounded the "all-clear" in the occidental bazaarThey used to call oxford streetNow the bankrupt souls in the cityAre finally tasting defeatSecond chorus:Dont look at meIm having the time of my lifeOr something quite like itWhen Im walking out and aboutIn londons brilliant paradeWhen Im walking out and aboutIn londons brilliant paradeFrom the gates of st. marys, there were horses in olympiaAnd a trolley bus in fulham broadwayThe lions and the tigers in regents parkCouldnt pay their wayAnd now theyre not the only onesAt the hammersmith palaisIn kensington and camden townTheres a part that I used to play;The lovely diorama is really part of the drama, Id sayFirst chorus [2x]
