The Lost and Found (1994)
[Verse 1]
This is the hour when the city turns blue
This is the time of the lost and found
They loose the nutters in the Underground
Everything's far and nothing is true
When the streets don't feel like a neutral zone
Or the stranger's eye like a neutral glance
The very next step might blow your chance
Of finding your way home alone
[Chorus]
It's like an opening door
It's what we came here for
You never know what thе wind may blow
[Verse 2]
And your life's like the voicе in the room upstairs
Raised to someone you never hear
You can try and try, it'll never come clear
Are you swearing or saying your prayers?
But the eyes are wide that were shut for shame
Dogs in their backyards jump up and bark
Hull and Halifax wake in the dark
Like someone was calling their name
[Chorus]
Look sharp
It's like an opening door
Look sharp
It's what we came here for
Look sharp
You never know what the wind may blow
You never know what the wind may blow
[Verse 3]
This is the hour when the city turns blue
This is the time of the lost and found
There's no saviours hanging around
Keeping a watch over you
There's words on the wall and a stinking lift
I hold my breath to the fourteenth floor
Empty-handed I knock at your door
Empty hands are my gift, are my gift
[Chorus]
Look sharp
It's like an opening door
Look sharp
It's what we came here for
Look sharp
You never know what the wind may blow
Look sharp
It's like an opening door
Look sharp
It's what we came here for
Look sharp
You never know what the wind may blow
You never know what the wind may blow
You never know what the wind may blow
You never know what the wind may blow
