Coldharbour Lane Songtext
von Tom Robinson

The first night I dared to come out on the town
It was hard believing my eyes
Met a fresh faced teacher in a big leather coat
On a dancefloor crowded with guys
And though he never told me he loved me
I know he never told me no lies

Hoping... moping
Freezing at the bus stop in Coldharbour Lane
Blew it... knew it
Hitting the bottle I could hardly remember his name

Wasn′t too easy
It wasn't slow
You wanna leave me
You′d better go


Time out taking the tube into town
To the upstairs room on the right
Stuck in the middle but feeling the need
To keep it up night after night
One time I hit the jackpot
Made out with the hottest in sight

Grinning... winning
He was a slim dark mover
With devastating eyes
Fun night... one night
He came and left me there barely saying goodbye

Boozing... cruising
Bitterly sipping a half pint of 'E'
Who′s he... choosing
Clenching my toes
And just wishing to God it was me

Wasn′t too easy
It wasn't slow
You wanna leave me
You′d better go
