the passage (uk) - lon don lyrics

we know what cities are
the monuments, the tombs
full of enthusiasts
living out of rooms

we know what cities are
the uniforms, the sights
the pleasure palaces
the things that take all night

oh they’re so special
so very special

but above all there’s another
littered with landmarks
it quarantines ten million souls
way above the likes of us
its people are so very hot
heated in the mind
must be that nеver+ending noise
thе sound of money burning in
lon don

oh everyone moves there
to make their careers
it sucks up ambition
it eats up ideas
it feeds them illusions
and power and greed
their heads grow fat
full of conceit
they’re too big to leave now
they’ve learnt too late it’s an abbatoir is
lon don
cities are built on mistakes of the past
the front door’s labelled heaven
the back door leads to h+ll
they seem to open on the same room
we’re stood too far away to tell

yet so cold about the things they see
(they say it’s nothing to do with me)
the diplomats and derelicts
falling off each other’s backs
so many peac+cks in one park
so many lice on so many rats
how can they take it day by day
they must be very very dumb in
lon don

oh everyone moves there
to make their careers
it f+cks up ambition
it plays on their fears
they cling to illusions
of wisdom and wit
when they’re so high above us
they can’t help dropping sh+t
on our words and our habits
but they can’t even see what a sewerage is
lon don
cities are built on mistakes of the past
the front door’s labelled heaven
the back door leads to h+ll
are we standing in the same room?
it’s far too dark for me to tell
