"Under The Westway" lyrics - BLUR

BLUR
"Under The Westway"

There were blue skies in my city today
Everything was sinking
Said snow would come on sunday
The old school was due and the traffic grew
Upon the Westway
Where I stood 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

Bring us the day they switch off the machines
Cos' men in yellow jackets putitng adverts inside my dreams
An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of the distance between us when we communicate
Still picking up short wave
Somewhere they're out in space
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway

Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one eighty still standing at last call
When the flags coming down
And the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song
For a way I feel about you
Paradise not lost it's in you
On a permanent basis I apologise
But I am going to sing
Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and it to you
Am I lost out at sea
'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway
