Lyrics

I just know though I can’t see but
I can feel his hands all over me
His hot breath on me, I can’t resist his rope, my wrists
I never knew there might be days like this
‘Dream on’ he says, ‘Dream on’ he says
Will I be saved from these titanic days

A violent frenzy in a none too cheap hotel
He says it’s hazy but I remember it so well
His arms, his face, the way my words got twisted out of place
‘Dream on’ he says, ‘Dream on’ he always says
It’s sink or swim in these titanic days

So hot so hungry, so fare thee well goodbye
I got so angry, now I sit here and sigh
My love, always, we should rejoice in these titanic days
‘Dream on’ he says, ‘Dream on’ he says
Will I be saved, will I be saved
‘Dream on’ he says, ‘Dream on’ he says
Do you ever get that sinking feeling?

Lyrics

I think I just recalled a time
It was not the moon and not the wine
And though you said you were a friend of mine
I never felt that way inclined
Oh the days were hot and the nights were long
I must have sung a million songs
But all the words just came out wrong on the last day of summer
I tried to walk the line, hoped everything would turn out fine
But I think I fell in love that time on the last day

And then the rain came down
And sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town on the last day
I think I dropped my guard that time
I was flesh and blood and grit and slime
And I think I may have lost my mind on the last day of summer

I think I fell in love back there
It was tooth and nail it was bones and hair
And you’ll never know how much I cared on the last day of summer
And though I think I fell that time it was not the only fault of mine
But all I wanted was a sign on the last day
I think you broke my heart that day and nothing I could do or say
Could make the coldness go away on the last day

The winter changes everything
And the raindrops freeze on the signs of the underground
I wonder will you think of me when you look up
And see there’s a full moon over London Town
I think I was away the day when you said you were too smart to play
And you’d only beat me anyway
It’s funny how I would have stayed
And you said you were a friend of mine
But that’s not what I had in mind
I think I fell in love that time on the last day of summer
I tried to walk the line, hoped everything would turn out fine
But I lost the reasons and the rhymes on the last day
And then the rain came down
And sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town on the last day

Lyrics

Your name froze on the winter air
An empty bench in Soho Square
Forgotten now I turn away
Just save me for a rainy day
But don’t be sorry, I don’t want to hear it baby

My feet froze in the winter chill
I knew I’d probably get ill
But I was praying we could fill an empty bench and still
You’re so sorry but I don’t want your pity baby

It’s all yours now please don’t tease
The pigeons shiver in the naked trees
And I’ll do anything but please don’t hurt me
Just kiss me quick ‘cos it’s my birthday
And I feel so small I don’t know why but no I’m not too old to cry

An empty bench in Soho Square.
If you’d have come you’d have found me there
But you never did ‘cos you don’t care and I’m so sorry baby
I don’t mind loneliness too much but when I met you I was touched
And that was good enough for me but do we always have to be sorry
Why can’t we just be happy baby?

One day you’ll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square
And we’ll dance around like we don’t care
And I’ll be much too old to cry
And you’ll kiss me quick in case I die before my birthday

One day you’ll be waiting there, no empty bench in Soho Square
No I don’t know the reason why I’ll love you till the day I die
But one day you’ll be waiting there
Come summertime in Soho Square
And I’ll be painting stars up in the sky
Before I get too old to cry before my birthday
I hope I see those pigeons fly before my birthday
In Soho Square on my birthday
