Lyrics for Londons Brilliant Parade by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Londons Brilliant Parade | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | 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?";
FIRST CHORUS:
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
Routemaster
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
They used to call Oxford Street
Now the bankrupt souls in the city
Are
finally tasting defeat
SECOND CHORUS:
Don't 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
When I'm walking out and about
In London's brilliant parade
From the gates
of St. Mary's, there were horses in Olympia
And a trolley bus in Fulham Broadway
The lions
and the tigers in Regents Park
