I can forget my loneliness by chewing gum Stumble into several arms and strip away the day's decay Sadness is a way of life for bitter me But don't you quote me the prophets 'Cause i know it's wrong But it's not for long If i had eyes like river would you take some notice of me? If i had lips like river would you talk to me? Now i walk the streets of london And i look around at the people rushing by Where do they go? do they even know? I hear they staple sequins to their sooty souls Just to tempt this acolyte from his real world His only world If i had eyes like river Would you take some notice of me? If I had lips like river would you talk to me now? Talk to me now Talk to me now Talk to me now
