Finsbury Park

Oh balloon, take me away
Oh balloon take me away
Pick me up, fast-forward today
To the night and my room and the haggard, drawn moon

Flies in the ointment, shots in the dark
No-one's still at 1 Finsbury Park
Wind through the curtains, the walls scream 'decay!'
The night always bleeds the life from her day
Things always happen, cries in the dark
Her life always shatters at 1 Finsbury Park
The phone climbs the wall, TV buzzes blue
The dead-line's up - she knows she is through

Duelling pistols, may your smoke envelop me
Duelling pistols... I remember now:
I cradle my jacobean lover in my arms
In my room, in the haggard, drawn moon

Flies in the ointment, shots in the dark
No-one's still at 1 Finsbury Park
Wind through the curtains, the walls scream 'decay!'
The night always bleeds the life from her day
Things always happen, cries in the dark
Her life always shatters at 1 Finsbury Park
The phone climbs the wall, TV buzzes blue
The dead-line's up - she knows she is through

FINSBURY
PARK yeah!
DRUNK

Night-bus, oh night-bus oh please take me home?
I'm having trouble to sleep -
And my nobbly knees are weak
Wake me, oh wake me at old Enfield Town
Wouldn't ask but my iphone is down

Michelle, oh Michelle, please pick me up
Baseball cap wearing youths...
Making fun of my shoes!
Clara, oh Clara, she'll just be fine
Just pick me up in time

Vincent, oh Vincent, you really are a fool
You really make me mad, and you really make me sad
You're 35, 35, 35 now
You're acting like some kid in town

Finsbury Park, Finsbury Park, 3.10 AM
All the things I've seen
All the things I've never been
Finsbury Park, Finsbury Park, creme de la creme
I think I've lost myself to the night
