Cocker / Senior / Mackey / Doyle / Banks

Give me the city, give me the sea,

Give to me everything I need,

The future is shining like a giant metal beast,

It shines so bright tonight, with its legs open wide.

And love is blind, falls in love with itself again

Like it never should, the way it always can

And she is mine, but the world is so much bigger now

Oh tell me should I hold her hand and give her love?

Or take her heart and throw it far away?

Oh now is the time to jump into it all

I’ll just hold my nose and try not to fall

To seek and to find, instead of walking around

With eyes glued to the sky, I turn them down to the ground

Oh and I used to think that maybe one day

I’ll find the love of my life, but it’s so far away,

Oh, I don’t know why, oh but I want it all tonight.

(Chorus)

We held hands and looked out of the bedroom window

We could see all the buildings collapsing around us

So we kissed, and we laid on the bed, and we waited for the ceiling to fall in

But it never did. In the morning it was all still there - the spilt milk and the dog turds

In that grey ashtray morning light I could hear thousands of people

And they were all singing this song.

La Ia Ia Ia Ia...

Hey butcher, oh oh, hey butcher - what’s your name?

Oh hey butcher what’s your game?

Oh you take all their love and you suck out their eyes

And rip out their hearts and you eat their insides

Yeah, then you just walk away with a smile on your face

Hey butcher, hey butcher, I’ve seen your face before.

La na na na na na...

And love is blind.
