I Get No Rest
I took to walking alone in the dark
Stranger to light, alone with my heart
London at night, no-one to fight
I drift awake when, I get no rest
Free, as long as we obey
Stand in line okay
They'll teach you how to pray
Wait, you got me on my knees
Begging not to leave
Begging not to
I hate to come and rain on your parade
I really wish, I coulda stayed, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Oh, yeah
Rain drops down the end of my nose
Into the dark, into unknown
Into a bar, after hours means
A little joint in, Bethnal Green
I drift awake when, I get no rest
So I'm awake now, So I'm awake now
Free, as long as we obey
Stand in line okay
They'll teach you how to pray
Wait, you got me on my knees
Begging not to leave
Begging not to... Leave
I hate to come and rain on your parade
I really wish, I coulda stayed, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Oh, yeah, you're only
Round, round, round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round, round, round, round
I hate to come and rain on your parade
I really wish, I coulda stayed, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Yeah, you're only
Free, as long as we obey
Stand in line okay
They'll teach you how to pray
Stranger to light, alone with my heart
London at night, no-one to fight
I drift awake when, I get no rest
Free, as long as we obey
Stand in line okay
They'll teach you how to pray
Wait, you got me on my knees
Begging not to leave
Begging not to
I hate to come and rain on your parade
I really wish, I coulda stayed, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Oh, yeah
Rain drops down the end of my nose
Into the dark, into unknown
Into a bar, after hours means
A little joint in, Bethnal Green
I drift awake when, I get no rest
So I'm awake now, So I'm awake now
Free, as long as we obey
Stand in line okay
They'll teach you how to pray
Wait, you got me on my knees
Begging not to leave
Begging not to... Leave
I hate to come and rain on your parade
I really wish, I coulda stayed, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Oh, yeah, you're only
Round, round, round, round, round, round, round
Round, round, round, round, round, round, round
I hate to come and rain on your parade
I really wish, I coulda stayed, yeah
Give it up, give it up
Yeah, you're only
Free, as long as we obey
Stand in line okay
They'll teach you how to pray
