"flow my tears" the new police song

the slogan of peace is "you must live"

they've got me and i'm one of them



cancel: "silence" they screamed for days

"we've been here before we won't stay"

they can die they can just turn off



some vehicle moves in circles

some people need the heroes

but i don't mind

i don't mind



please listen to the sirens

we don't wish to be your friends

please listen to the sirens

we won't ever call again



Mister Webb there is no way out

love this room please don't fight your walls

can you see i'm wasting your time



a streetcar's rusting unseen

music hall's empty like me

but i don't care

i don't care



please listen to the sirens

we don't wish to be your friends

please listen to the sirens

we won't ever call again



if i could stay here for now

with someone just a bit like you

"oh, no"

maybe i would dream again

of someone just a bit like you

"s'pose so"



station boys keep their hands on steel

tubeway days now seem quite unreal

it's always so close but never quite arrives



my vision's like an old film shaky

there's nothing through my window okay

no photo by my bedside black/white

no image in my mirror bye bye
