----LYRICS----
I been waiting in the airport bar for hours
I been wondering if they’re gonna make me drink all day
Last call calling on a non-stop back to the heartland
Calling on your getaway
Every day I’m trying to slide by on kodachrome kisses and headlines
Did I tell you that I wish you were here?
invisible man, catch me stumbling out of the underground
I just want to disappear
London is calling/everybody cut & run
come see what drink and the devil have done
somebody’s falling/did they make you give up your gun?
and I might not reach you in time
midnight rider on the Jubilee down to the high street
rule brittannia/show you how to rise and fall
and I remember the 4th of July up on Hampstead Heath alone
ain’t no rocket’s red glare/don’t you know that nobody cares about
another lost ugly American in this town
London is calling/everybody cut & run
come see what drink and the devil have done
somebody’s falling/did they make you give up your gun?
and I might not reach you in time
and from the corner of the Marble Arch back home to your rolling fields
a soapbox preacher is reaching out
and you’ve been lonely and you’ve been lost/I know it’s true
but every american girl thinks she’s run out of time
London is calling/everybody cut & run
come see what drink and the devil have done
somebody’s falling/did they make you give up your gun?
and I might not reach you in time
- Track Name: Catherine Wheel
-
backseat driver with something to prove
she was runnin some daytime night moves
she said to leave the radio on
rolled out for a cigarette
don't you stay too long/gonna play our song
but you know that song never came on
and I don't think I'll make it to the next turn of the screw
'cause the only thing that keeps me here is you
so roll on/sister roll on
hold on to the wheel
roll away forever/roll away from what you feel
take the car 'cause you come this far
who am I to keep you down?
'cause my world turns on Catherine Wheels
whenever you're around
well I guess we bought what they sold us
believed in what they told us
that we'd be safe here on this holy ground
well I guess ain't no one to blame
stood and watched it go up in flames
couldn't even feel it burning down
and every night I have this dream where I'm sinking like a stone
just praying I'll be waking up alone
so roll on/sister roll on
hold on to the wheel
roll away forever/roll away from what you feel
take the car 'cause you come this far
who am I to keep you down?
'cause my world turns on Catherine Wheels
whenever you're around
who am I to keep you?
I just tried to reach you
with you it's always on with the show
so I'm letting you go
whenever you want to roll
- Track Name: Halfway Home
-
There was fever in the coal black boots that she wore
She danced like a hurricane coming ashore
Yeah, the warning came but I was too far gone
Tied myself to the mast/let the storm come on
So far/from your lonely room
Do you/miss the sound of the freeway
When you're halfway home you can call on me
When you're halfway home you can find me
Well I put up a red light/stop/she was through it
She was gonna come out on top and she knew it
She said "come on people, now, give him a hand
The ship's going down but you can still hear the band"
So far/from your lonely room
Do you/miss the sound of the freeway
When you're halfway home you can call on me
When you're halfway home you can find me
Oh, they said I should've known
One look and I turn to stone
I was waiting for you/I was waiting for you to come 'round
But your sailing tide, it was ebbing fast
And we were born to run, not built to last
So far/from your lonely room
Do you/miss the sound of the freeway
So far/from your lonely room
Do you/miss the sound of the freeway
So far/from your lonely room
Do you/miss the sound of the freeway
When you're halfway home you can call on me
And you're halfway home so far
- Track Name: Shotgun
-
i / been trying to call you / get you on the phone
couldn't get you alone/ couldn't get you at all
i was just trying to break through
i can't get over the wall
couldn't get through to tell you / that your
shotgun lover took another one to cover up the pain that he couldn't hide
you wished him well / gave him a kiss and a shell
with his name inscribed on the side
and you said sellout / you can get the hell out now
i can find my way alone
but you're a little girl lost in the wilderness now
and I don't think you're coming home
oh no
ooh / i see the way that they watch you
counting up the cost/the lines you shouldn't have crossed
'cause right now, there's nothing else waiting to come due
you're paying for what you've done
girl I was walkin/you better run/run and tell 'em that your
shotgun lover took another one to cover up the pain that he couldn't hide
you wished him well / gave him a kiss and a shell
with his name inscribed on the side
the one who sold out / I couldn't hold out
left you the queen of rock'n'roll
but you're a little girl broke on the boulevard now
and you already sold your soul
yeah you're a little girl
and you're losin' it
spending up something so real
like it was counterfeit
like it never meant nothing at all
