lyrics

Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lay
Took the day off work today
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye
Went to London, don't know why
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lay
Drank the afternoon away
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye
With some junior doctors from Hay-on-Wye

Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lay
We shot machine guns, threw grenades
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye
Drove race cars and lost track of time
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lay
In the Acton cineplex arcades
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye
Was going to call you, but I changed my mind

Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lay
We saw the robots down Embankment way
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye
We saw the Tower, saw the Eye
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lay
Were going to see the Aquarium but lost our way
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye
Was going to call you, but I changed my mind

On the bus in the fading day
Sunlight trailing beams away
Something nagging, undefined
Was going to call you but I changed my mind
We brought this up and I tried to say
That I could see no reason why
I'd try to see you to see you cry
Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye

(Lye-la lee-la la lee-la lye
I don't know how to say goodbye...)
