lyrics

London Welshman

Now summer’s almost done, guess it’s time to be moving on

Nothing here for a young man, guess it’s time to be moving on

Swansea to Paddington, one way only, no return

Hailed a cab and disappeared, one way only, no return

Became as one with the evening haze

This is the first of the rest of your days

And you struggle to make ends meet, SW2 Brixton

It’s not much, not even home, SW2 Brixton

Left the gossip and the Gorse, the city streets at dusk to roam

For better or for worse, the city streets at dusk to roam

With your eyes closed, how the whole world looks red

Sorry to go but I couldn’t have stayed

Became as one with the evening haze

This is the first of the rest of your days
