In this town, I used to be the king here
Now I don't mean a thing here, where did it all go wrong?
I look around and no one knows my face here
I feel so out of place here, where did all go wrong?
I say your name, and I wonder where you are now
I hope you're doing fine now, well I hope that you found love
I hope that you found love
I hope that you found love
I've been thinking of you, every waking hour
Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call
Look at your photo and I wonder, are you still on this number?
But in my heart I know, you changed that number long ago
Once I was the king
We said goodbye, you begged me not to leave you
I didn't want to leave you, but you know I had to go
I said look for me, when the spring sun shines on the street
Where we'd meet and plan our future, but I never made it home
I turn around, head on over to your hands, yeah
Just in case you might still be there
But now they've pulled it down
Now they've pulled it down
I hope that you found love
Wonder what you doing next
I hope that you found love
Wonder what you doing next
I hope that you found love
I've been thinking of you, every waking hour
Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call
Look at your photo and I wonder, are you still on this number?
But in my heart I know, you changed that number long ago
Nowhere is home and I feel old
My clothes are torn, my heart is cold
With you I was the king
With you my heart would sing
But now my story's done, now I'm no one
But once I was the king
Well I walked out, 'cause I had some plans
Yeah, I walked out, destiny in my own hands
I thought I'd get by without you
Thought I'd survive without you, but I
I got drunk, I did not know why, oh I
I got drunk, I was dying inside, 'cause I
Can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No something is wrong
I can't get along without you, so I
I picked fi...
There's no light in the hall
There's no sound here at all
Emptiness, emptiness rules
Why'd I wanna come home?
You ain't sat in your chair
No one calls, no ones there
Just a clock, tick, tock
Tears so many tears
Help me please, I'm in need
'Cause being alone scares the life out of me
Help me please, I'm in need
'Cause being alone scares the life out of me
Being alone scares the life out of me
B...
Fall out of bed, I put my head in the sink
Cold water on my face, brings me back to the brink
I've got to get to work, you know I'm always late
The boss is on my back, the boss is in my face
I close my eyes, I'm in your arms
I close my eyes, I'm in your arms, I'm in your arms
The phone keeps ringing, my ears keep ringing
And all theses people keeps singing
I work hard everyday, working for a m...
New day dawning, I wonder what it holds for me
Sun is shining, don't think that it shine for me
I look around, nothing seems to have changed
This dirty town, it hasn't somehow rearranged
And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down
"Just give it up", they say, "We just don't want you around
Not one of us and we don't like to share"
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swear
I hear you...
In this town, I used to be the king here
Now I don't mean a thing here, where did it all go wrong?
I look around and no one knows my face here
I feel so out of place here, where did all go wrong?
I say your name, and I wonder where you are now
I hope you're doing fine now, well I hope that you found love
I hope that you found love
I hope that you found love
I've been thinking of you, every wak...
When I'm lonely, deep in the city at night
Nobody near me except that red neon light
I get down on my knees and I pray
There you are darling, bring salvation today
A shining light, you taste just right
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me
'Cause darling you're my, my little angel
Yes darling you're my, my little angel
Come to a river, yeah, it's a hundred miles wide
I can't see how I...
Suburban days, they last so long
In shop and office, we sing our song we all sing
We ain't got nothing, nothing to do
A big fat nothing, nothing for me, nothing for you
Suburban dreams, just out of reach
Work till you die, that's what they teach you at school
With that in mind, what's there to lose?
My friends and I, doped up on TV fags and booze
Hear them all singing
We're the ones that you'v...
Life means nothing
When no one knows your name
I've never had too much
But I'd give it all for fame, baby, baby
She's there on the TV, so beautiful on screen
Selling me a life
I've never known and never seen, baby, baby
If I only had you, if I only had
Television, new religion, let everyone sing Hallelujah
Politicians, don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, Hallel...
Tonight, tonight I'm gonna take what's mine
Tonight, tonight under that bright neon light
And if I ever find a way right out of here
Tonight, tonight I'm gonna disappear
Tonight, tonight oh, sweetheart you and I
Tonight, tonight we've got to feel alive
'Cause if we ever find a way right out of here
Tonight, tonight we've gotta disappear
But it ain't easy, no, it ain't easy
Darling, darling, pl...
You dumb ass fool, you lost it all
You had your chance but moved too slow
Now look around this lonely town
Where every smiling face just brings you down
Just brings you down
You let it slip, so get a grip
There's no one else to blame for this
Now walk around this lonely town
Where every smiling face just brings you down
Just brings you down
Stick around and watch me fall apart
Watch me lose th...
In Birmingham, in London, what we need now is love
Not hate and fear, blood and tears, what we need now is love
Walking down my street tonight, West London style
There's something in the air tonight, I haven't felt for a while
I see the fear, I see the fear in your eyes
When they keep you afraid you believe all their lies
In the county towns, in football grounds, what we need now is love
Not s...
