I can forget my loneliness by chewing gum
Stumble into several arms and strip away the day's decay
Sadness is a way of life for bitter me

But don't you quote me the prophets
'Cause i know it's wrong
But it's not for long

If i had eyes like river would you take some notice of me?
If i had lips like river would you talk to me?
Now i walk the streets of london

And i look around at the people rushing by
Where do they go? do they even know?
I hear they staple sequins to their sooty souls

Just to tempt this acolyte from his real world
His only world
If i had eyes like river

Would you take some notice of me?
If I had lips like river would you talk to me now?
Talk to me now

Talk to me now
Talk to me now
