In the bowels of the studio, there you'll find me I'm on my own Watching the world clock on by, a coffee in hand and a fading smile I'm killing time I'm killing time I'm very good, at killing time I wear this city like a coat It keeps me warm, sharp minded in the cold I'm drinking in every bar Danced at every club that I've found so far And I want to walk down every road Take every short cut, every long route home As long as you're there to tell me where I'm going They teach me your arms are my one true home And I say Grey, don't look at me that way You're a monument To the monumental excitement of a city on the cusp of revival And a wave from the mucky angel at the gates of the Haymarket Tells you that you're home if you're coming in down from the north Let's go back to Pink Lane where it started for some Save me a seat at the Cumberland, we'll drink till we roll to the Ouseburn Byker Bridge pulls me back to relive existential crisis, throw my stars to the valley floor And to think I nearly left it all behind How many more times will London steal a northern mind? 300 Miles in 21 days to bring my poet to me again And my boots will walk me from the end to the start It took 13 years to unbreak my heart And I say Grey, don't look at me that way You're a monument To the monumental excitement of a city on the cusp of uprising And I if had your spot Right at the very top, best view of the city down to the Tyne across open country And I say Grey, don't look at me that way You're a monument To the monumental excitement of a city on the cusp of uprising And I if had your spot Right at the very top, best view of the city down to the Tyne across open country Across open country Down by the Tyne, that's where you'll find me most of the time Watching the river wash on by, a pen in my hand but the ink ran dry I'm killing time I'm killing time I'm very good at killing time
