Sarah Siddons overlooking the motorway Paddington Green certainly isn´t what it used to be Got a feeling London is calling me Or could it be that I´m simply trying to run away
I took the veil, I took the veil at Liberty And bought a scarf, now I´m fully covered ya see But I don´t think I can hide my ecstasy Thinking of you up on Belsize Park thinking of me
´Cause I´m a roman- romantical man Can´t be pedantic (if you gotta look it up, the definition) ´Cause I´m a roman- romantical man Wish I was sarcastic But I´m feeling it Like every second
We´re all surrounded by shards of glass and not masonry Perfectly reflecting what we don´t want to see
And the classical critics can´t stand a melody I only ask what brought you to the opera firstly
Mother can you hear me, I´m calling you! Mother can you hear me, I´ve made it through But the temperature is rising The water´s high The forests they are dying But just for tonight I´m a roman- romantical man Tonight the ship will set sail from the sand
Can´t be pedantic If you gotta look it up, the definition Wish I was sarcastic But I´m feeling it Like every second
