Lyrics for London

Smoke Lingers 'round your fingers Train Heave on to Euston Do you think you've made The right decision this time? You left Your tired family grieving And you think they're sad Because you're leaving But didn't you see the jealousy in the eyes Of the ones who had to stay behind? And do you think you've made The right decision this time? You left Your girlfriend on the platform With this really ragged notion That you'll return But she knows That when he goes He really goes And do you think you've made The right decision this time?
