Under The Westway (Early Version*) - Blur

[00:43.06]There were blue skies in my city today
[00:50.13]Everything was sinking,
[00:52.38]said snow would come on sunday
[00:55.95]The old school was due and the traffic grew
[01:02.32]Up on the Westway
[01:04.76]Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
[01:09.26]
[01:11.07]Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
[01:17.64]Down to earth where the money always comes first
[01:22.64]And the sirens sing
[01:25.59]
[01:45.62]Bring us the day they switch off the machines
[01:50.11]
[01:52.56]Cos men in yellow jackets putting adverts
[01:56.31]inside my dreams
[01:58.18]An automated song and the whole world gone
[02:04.25]Fallen under the spell of
[02:06.90]The distance between us when we communicate
[02:13.21]Still picking up shortwave,
[02:15.52]somewhere they're out in space
[02:18.58]It depends how you're wired
[02:21.96]when the night's on fire
[02:25.09]Under the Westway
[02:28.28]
[02:42.76]Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
[02:49.71]Doing one eighty still standing at last call
[02:55.33]When the flags coming down
[02:58.22]and the Last Post sounds
[03:01.72]Just like a love song
[03:04.29]For the way I feel about you
[03:09.55]Paradise's not lost, it's in you
[03:16.05]On a permanent basis I apologise
[03:22.55]But I am going to sing
[03:28.87]Hallelujah
[03:33.05]Sing it out loud and sing it to you
[03:38.43]Am I lost out at sea
[03:41.63]'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway
