Elvis Costello - London's Brilliant Parade Lyrics

Font:

Align:

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 Im dreaming

Theres a passing motor car

That broadcasts a popular song

And a girl appears to be saying

Do you think that Im going to go far?

First chorus:

Just look at me

Im having the time of my life

Or something quite like it

When Im walking out and about

In londons brilliant parade

Shes one of those girls that you just cant 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

Dont let me awake

I wouldnt want you to walk across hungerford bridge

Especially at twilight

Looking through the bolts and the girders

Into the water below

Youll 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:

Dont look at me

Im having the time of my life

Or something quite like it

When Im walking out and about

In londons brilliant parade

When Im walking out and about

In londons brilliant parade

From the gates of st. marys, there were horses in olympia

And a trolley bus in fulham broadway

The lions and the tigers in regents park

Couldnt pay their way

And now theyre not the only ones

At the hammersmith palais

In kensington and camden town

Theres a part that I used to play;

The lovely diorama is really part of the drama, Id say

First chorus [2x]
