London City (Live)

Did I tell you bout the time you failed to recognize my heart?
I couldnt find a way to betray you in my arms
You held a beauty but I didnt care
For you parked your markings on your arm there
Did I tell you that inspite of you I sealed my fate?
And that I held you in my gaze to finally pace my gain
And though it always was away from you
Oh I cant deny you like I used to do
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Listen its time to forgive and forget
Its funny how you defied something in me
But wait a minute, Ive not finished yet
Do you remember when you called me out of Castlereagh Place?
How you swore to me a future through the troubles Id face?
That broken promise that we feel and tame
Oh but now I realize you were not to blame
So cradle me now in your arms, London city
Surely its time to forgive and forget
Yeah its funny how you defied something in me
But wait a minute , Im not finished yet
Lost friends, River Thames, Caledonian Road, Westminster
St. Pauls Cathedral and the round parts of the Regal
And that bumbling buffoon, the Prime Minister
And the East End where there are hard men
Where they fight for good reason every now and then
In their nods and their smiles, they say Im so rarified
Im shining like a beacon in the evening light would
It all left me strong-eyed like an alley cat
But then you fed me and I remember that
So I guess what Im saying is youre not that bad
Cradle me now in your arms, London city
Surely its time to forgive and forget
Yeah its funny how you defied something in me
But wait a minute, Im not finished yet
