lyrics

Westgate Towers


I want to do something that won't make a difference
Not feeling guilty for a whole afternoon
Just lying around looking into the distance
A day of no consequence I'd share with you

But I'm off to the station on my way to the Smoke
And the wind just hit me like a stick in the spokes
As I'm riding my bike past the walls and the flowers
Round the Westgate Towers
The Westgate Towers

On the train I'll read a book from the last century
Where they sit round for ages just shooting the breeze
Page after page of nothing much happening
Set out in detail from starters to cheese

As I'm stepping out into the St Pancras air
I'll be asking myself what I'm doing up there
When I could have been lying with you for an hour
In the Westgate Gardens by the Westgate Towers

It was only a daydream in those last few moments
Before that big green bus came hurtling round the bend
While over there in the shadows the destitute cowered
On the dark other side of the Westgate Towers

I want to do something that won't make a difference
Not feeling guilty for a whole afternoon
Just lying around looking into the distance
A day of no consequence I'd share with you
