West End Dreams

I drink responsibly
I suffer in silence
With the occasional ballad to moisten the cords
Of a love gone by and a break-up sore

The directors
They see my life
In original cutscenes, smart pick-up lines
Impossible car chases ending over the ledge of the Gate

I've always been here
I've lived with the Boys
It's my way of saying I've made the most
Of sunny days, girls and West End dreams

I am the eighties
All over again
And you turn to me softly, not understanding
How can I love you if you're born in the nineties?
