Metroland Lyrics

Yearning, we were yearning
Green light blinding on the rail
Burning, we were burning
And the line unwinding to the holy grail
To the future gleaming on a blue horizon
And a golden girl on golden sand
Dreaming, fantasising
In another world far from Metroland

I′ve danced in rain and I've been jangled
I′ve got laid, I've been a rolling stone
I've been Verlaine and I′ve been Rimbaud
I′m not afraid to walk alone
And now I take my midnight ramble
Do I fold or play what's in my hand?
What′s at stake and what's the gamble?
And do I stay in Metroland?

Dreams, yesterday′s laughter
Ghost town lovers come back to play
But dreams have a morning after
And run for cover in the light of day
I got something real worth holding on to
I can belong to and understand
Make my deal, I will go on to
Make my peace with Metroland
With Metroland

Metroland
Metroland
In Metroland
