Album: So Tough

Archway People Lyrics

[intro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:]

You asked me to make a record of my voice. Well here it is. What you want me to say is "I love you." Here's the truth. I hate you, you little slut. You make me sick!


When you told me your dream (when you told me your dream) / 

I / wanted to cry. / 

You almost looked happy (you almost looked happy) / 

Please don't tell me / it's true. / 

All our neighbours are old (all our neighbours are old) / 

street-lamp buzzes all night. / 

There are some nice parts of London, (there are some nice parts of London) / 

you can see them from here (you can see them from here, you can see them from here.) / 


You're / not going to change, / 

we're / not moving away. / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 


We both work `til late, / 

catch / the fifty-eight. / 

Usually asleep by eleven, (asleep by eleven) / 

but somehow it didn't seem right / 

when you turned and said (when you turned and said) / 

"Let's / go mad tonight." / 

So we drank and danced; (so we drank and danced) / 

for once I felt close to you (for once I felt close to you, for once I felt close to you.) / 


You're / not going to change. / 

we're / not moving away. / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 

We're staying here, (staying here.) / 

We're staying here, (staying here...)
