Lyrics

Thought that when you left today
The awkward silence seemed to say
That you were wondering where we were
Now last night's passed that drunken blur

You didn't stay for coffee
Drove you fast to work don't worry cos
I found your bra I'm sorry cos
I drank your beer whilst writing here

And I just don't know anymore
What to say which metaphor
Cos you still wanna hear my jokes
And stories of when I was close

To losing my mind on the smoke
And all those endless lines....I wrote
And I don't even know I am
And I don't even know I can

But I think we had a utopian moment
I think we had a utopian moment

So I wondered round at Camden lock
Daydreamed down at
Albert Docks
But reason he could not be found
Figured he'd abandoned town

And last night you saw all my past
Through my glazed eyes a sailing mast
That's blowing in the wind again
Robert, what's the answer friend?

And I got to thinking what if you
Had seen my soul would we be through
Did I stop smiling or was it you
Did I stop trying to be with you

And Dr Johnson's right you know
I'm tired of life I gotta go
And leave the city lights behind
The history of a troubled time

But I think we had a utopian moment
I think we had a utopian moment

And Dr Johnson's right you know
I'm tired of London I gotta go
And leave the city lights behind
The history of a troubled time

And Albert helped me dream a way
Of seeing sunsets every day
I visioned what it would to be
A turtle swimming gracefully

But as I lay a gasping
A bristol sail came by
And brought me back to London here
To beg until I die
