 This is where the truth begins, where teardrops  glance the sallow skin,
 you lose  your will and I can lend you mine.
 The Westway wall’s so tall and bleak,  reflect the words we dare not speak,
 by the bottle’s end we may  have done our time.
 What you want’s to stay away from people like me,
 who twist most everything they see,
 and leave the grey old world behind  you.
 So sew it up,  Kid, have some clout,  we’ll do some wine  and fall about,
 the sun will shine  again tomorrow.
 Look beyond  the parapet,  we are just bums  lest you forget,
 we can beg,  steal and borrow.
 Fill 1:
 Well you said the pills would sort me out,
 embolden me against the manifestations of fear  and doubt,
 I just forgot who I used to be.
So  now I’m strung somewhere between a dream,  and humdrum day-to-day routine,
 a laurel wreath on the door to my heart.
 What you want’s to wash your face and try to breathe,
 forget your mind and shut your eyes so that you can’t see,
 and leave the grey old world behind  you.
 So sew it up,  Kid, have no doubt,  we’ll walk the line  and have it out.
 the sun will shine  again tomorrow.
 For all the friends  you've ever met,  well some you’ll love  and some forget,
 just hold on  for tomorrow.
 So here’s to now,  and all of us  of course,
 the hearts we tried to make a brand new start,
 may the fabric  never tear us apart.
 And some day when,  we're in the cold,
 here's a semblance, we can hope so, the proposal,
 and put  it on your heart for me.
 Fill 2:
 So now I move, and if you’re in,
 it wouldn’t hurt just to give it a try  and win,
 don’t forget who you're meant to be.
 What you want’s to get a bike and do wheelies,
 I bet you can’t do ‘em half as good as me,
 throw it out, when it's over it's over.
 So sew it up,  Kid, have some clout,  we’ll go to mine  and sulk about,
 how the sun  will shine tomorrow.
 For all the friends  you’ve not yet met,  well some would die  for you I bet,
 so hold on  for tomorrow.
 So sew it up,  Kid, have some clout,  we'll go to mine  and fuck about,
 the sun will shine  again tomorrow.
 For all the friends  you've not yet met,  well some would die  for you I bet,
 so hold on  for tomorrow.
 Fill 3:
 Outro):
 This is where the truth begins, for more  than seven deadly sins,
 you lose  your will, I may have hurt your mind.
