Under the Westway
[Verse 1] 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
[Verse 2] Bring us the day they switch off the machines 'Cause men in yellow jackets putting 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 shortwave, somewhere they're out in space It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire Under the Westway
[Verse 3] Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull Doing one-eighty, still standing at last call When the flag's coming down And the Last Post sounds just like a love song For the way I feel about you Paradise not lost, it's in you On a permanent basis, I apologise But I am going to sing
[Outro] Hallelujah Sing it out loud and sing it to ya Am I lost out at sea 'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway

[Chorus] I'ma shine a light in your eyes (Look away, look away) You'll probably shine it back on me (Look away) Yet I won't fall this time With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs
[Verse 3] Oh, glorious world (Glorious) Oh, potent waves valleys gone wild (Potent waves) Connect us to love (Us to love) And keep us peaceful for a while (For a while)
[Chorus] I'ma shine a light in your eyes (For a while, for a while) You'll probably shine it back on me (For a while) But I won't fall this time With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs (In your eyes) I'ma shine a light in your eyes (In your eyes, in your eyes) You'll probably shine it back on me (In your eyes) But I won't fall this time With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs I won't fall this time With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs

The Universal
[Verse 1] This is the next century Where the universal's free You can find it anywhere Yes, the future has been sold Every night we're gone And to karaoke songs How we like to sing along Though the words are wrong
[Chorus] It really, really, really could happen Yes, it really, really, really could happen When the days, they seem to fall through you Well, just let them go
[Verse 2] No one here is alone Satellites in every home Yes, the universal's here Here for everyone Every paper that you read Says tomorrow's your lucky day Well, here's your lucky day
[Chorus] It really, really, really could happen Yes, it really, really, really could happen If the days, they seem to fall through you Well, just let them go Well, it really, really, really could happen Yes, it really, really, really could happen When the days they seem to fall through you Well, just let them go
[Outro] Just let them go Just let them go
