Intro Bass riff x4 then x2 verse 1 I sat and watched the crowds in London I know each road by name Today the streets are cold and empty Cause no one likes the rain I soon lost count of all the cars That burned so bright outside the bars Deserted streets and burning shells Familiar shops I know so well verse 2 Today the birds no longer twitter The words don't make it true When there's no line I'm up the junction I can't be there with you I've always got a magic line That I tap into any time I watch the world by day and night It's very close but out of sight Small World Spent together Linked forever verse 3 The words were out and spread like fires From good to bad, habitual liars The drama queens rejoice again Until the next time, who knows when? Solo We could be miles apart forever But we are somehow here together The world is always talking somewhere And we can choose or not to be there We could be miles apart forever (Small world___ spent) But we are somehow here together (together spent in) The world is always talking somewhere (wonder linked for-) And we can choose or not to be there (ever) We could be miles apart forever (Small world___ spent) But we are somehow here together (together spent in) The world is always talking somewhere (wonder linked for-) And we can choose or not to be there (ever)
