Lyrics
Londown
How long must I wait, and why must time always dictate
The when, the now and all between no-one has control
Lives roll on with no direction, like a ship in a stormy sea
They ride the waves and bare the brunt hoping to pull through
Why must it be this way
That people go through every day
With the tedious old rigmarole
Things will change? I ask you how
How time flies, without relent
With sorrow and aimless gazes, people walk down cobbled streets
What pains them so that they trudge along wearing forlorn faces
Is it the rain and grey skies or the queues for all the rides
Is it the beggars on the tubes or the war on the news
Why must it be this way
That people go through every day
Without so much as a hello g'day
How hard is it for you to say
Hello my friend, have a nice day
With all this sorrow in this world, wouldn't it be nice to share a
smile
So when a stranger catches your gaze, don't turn your head and look away
Flash a grin, You'll make their day
