London, You Owe Me This Much


I leave a bedroom

still littered by you

I take the train

into this city



A broken heart is easily lost

amongst the crush,

amongst the rush

on the underground



Carried by the moving stairs

There's no need to hurry

when you're going

nowhere.



He gave me the capacity to love

and left as I was filling up

So I turn to you my old friend and say



Take me in your arms.

Wrap your roads around me

Nuzzle me with your crowds

and let the quick warmth of commerce immerse me

Because London, you owe me this much



In the bars and cafes

I waste away the day

The pictures in galleries

give my thoughts a place to nap in



I retire into cinemas

Student passes,

eccentric bastards

escapees from the 9 to 5



Deeper into Hyde Park

I muddle

where the Grannies huddle

Pigeons around my feet



He gave me the capacity to love

and left as I was filling up

So I turn to you my old friend and say



Take me in your arms.

Wrap your roads around me

Nuzzle me with your crowds

and let the warmth of commerce immerse me

Because London, you owe me this much
