Patrick - Kirsty MacColl

He was a stranger in london at night

And he felt alone so he followed a light

Into a bar where the music was loud

He ordered a pint and got lost in the crowd

He asked a girl if she wanted to dance

She turned up her nose and she told him «no chance!»

He felt rejected and stood by the wall

And wondered why hed ever bothered at all

He missed his family and wished he was home

With all of those strangers he felt so alone

Patrick dont be afraid

Youll live to laugh another day

Patrick dont be afraid

The cavalry is on the way

He stood in silence, looked round for a while

Then he saw a girl and she looked back and smiled

Then he went over and started to talk

She looked a bit like his sister in cork

He bought her a drink with his last two quid

When he said «come back for a coffee"she did

Patrick youve got it made

Youre halfway there, youre on your way

Patrick shes not afraid

And now I bet youre glad you stayed

Looking so lovely and perfectly groomed

She showed in the centre of patricks room

She was lit up from the inside and out

Oh he was enchanted as she moved about

She touched him like sunlight on cold mountain stone

And he grew afraid lest she leave him alone

Patrick dont be afraid

Youve won the girl and saved the day

Patrick youve got it made

The girls not going to run away

Patrick dont be afraid

The cavalry is on the way

Patrick youve got it made

Just look outside its a lovely day
