[Verse 1]
There were grey skies in my city today
Everything was sinking, said snow will come on Sunday
The old school was due as the traffic grew
Upon the Westway
Where I sat watching comets' lonesome trails
Shining up above me, the jet fuel, it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing
[Verse 2]
Bring us a day they switch off the machines
(Switch off the machine)
'Cause men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
(In your dreams)
An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of the changing ways we communicate
Still picking up shortwave, somewhere they're out in space
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway
[Verse 3]
And now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one-eighty, still standing at last call
When the flag's coming down and the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song for the way I feel about you
Paradise not lost, it's in you
On a permanent basis, I apologise
But I am gonna sing
[Outro]
"Hallelujah"
Sing it out loud and sing it to ya
Am I lost out at sea?
'Til the tide wash me
Up off the Westway
