People rushing by Can't take it anymore No-one's looking No-one's looking at me But I hear them laughing Oh I know they're laughing at me I wanted I wanted to get out Get out and join them But every time I try There's too much noise I've got to stop the noise Can you see me now? Are you laughing now? I can't help you anymore Welcome to the last house in London One thousand faces One thousand faces every hour Pass by my window I see them by my window I see them smiling No-one's smiling at me I hear them I hear them talking No-ones talking to me Know they're talking about me There's too much noise I've got to stop the noise Can you see me now? Are you laughing now? I can't help you anymore Welcome to the last house in London Yeah Can you see me now? Are you laughing now? I won't help you anymore Welcome to the last house in London Yeah Can you see me now? Are you laughing now? I won't help you anymore Welcome to the last house you'll ever...

Escarpment 02:46
Feeling breathless as we make it to the summit The sun is slowly setting changing colours all around I never dared dream that this place would be so peaceful That the view would be so beautiful Or you would be here with me And now I'm breathing like a fish that's out of water I'm watching as you're laughing Falling to the ground I never knew we would be able to see quite so much But I know this would mean nothing If you were not here with me Don't say you'll go Don't say it's over 'Cos I won't I won't listen Looking down now at the path we took to get here The rocks that blocked our way before seem nothing more than stones I always hoped one day I'd climb up this escarpment And when i finally made it You would be here with me And so we're lying on our backs as daylight fading Still shining in the setting sun Reaching for the stars I know I've found someone who'll help me when I need them Who'll keep me climbing higher Who'll always be here for me Don't say you'll go Don't say it's over 'Cos I won't I won't listen

She walks wearily down the street as another nightshift ends She thinks about what he said but she doesn't let it trouble her No there's no way he could be right No there's no going back tonight She turns the final corner but then something has distracted her She spins around and looks behind But there no-one in sight She tries to use her mobile phone But there's no signal to be found No there's no way this could be right No something's going wrong tonight She looks up just too late to see That something moved above her C'mon take me now Won't you show me how C'mon take me now Those words are ringing in her ears As she lies wide awake She's given up all hope of sleep But not because it's bothered her No no-one will believe her No she'll keep this to herself So she heads back out to work again and doesn't say a word Now she's counting down the hours Until the night shift ends He's been acting really tough But she wont let it bother her No she can't wait to leave work No she cant wait tonight Now she's standing in the street And gazing at the stars C'mon take me now Won't you show me how C'mon take me now [C'mon and take me now] Do you live in a town? A town is full of buildings Do you live in a town? The streets have cars and buses and lorries Do you live in a town? The streets are full of people Do you live in a town? A town is full of buildings Do you live in a town? C'mon take me now Won't you show me how C'mon take me now

I want to live in a building with a name I want to live in a street with a number I want to live in the land of the buy one get one free And I want to have a room With a view of a room Because I want to watch them living without me Every time the phone rings Every time the music plays Every time the laughter starts Every time the curtains close I want to live in a city that never sleeps I want to live in the state of the permanent state I want to live in the fears of the people that I meet And I want to have a room With a view of your room Because I want to know you before you know me Every time the phone rings Every time the music stops Every time the laughter stops Every time the curtains twitch

I won't listen Don't say you'll go Don't say you'll go Don't say you'll go Don't say you'll go Don't say you'll go Don't say you'll go Don't say you'll go Don't say you'll go Don't say it's over No I won't I won't listen Don't say you'll go
