On The Town - Madness

Oh it’s early in the morning

It’s raining and the streetlights

Streaming through my windows

Casting shadows on the ceiling

The room is oh so empty

Stand against the wall

The clock is ticking loudly

It’s deafening in this quiet room

(A car is quietly passing)

(The door is softly closing)

Oh how long have I been waiting?

(Footsteps hesitating)

(Some keys are held from ringing)

What am I to say, inside I don’t want to stay

Oh 'cos I’ve been on the town, sick and tired of your frown

I can hear you in the hallway

It’s not unusual

You’re there everyday

Only now the hour’s so late

Every minute I’ve had to wait

Has been an eternity

But now you’re back again with me

The clock says five fifteen

Oh won’t you tell me where you’ve been

Won’t you tell me where you’ve been

What am I to say, inside I don’t want to stay

Oh 'cos I’ve been on the town, sick and tired of your frown

And if I met another guy

Who could not say I would not lie

I saw you in the morning

It was just like every other day

You kissed me on the cheek

I said «Here comes another week»

You glanced out of the window

And I asked you where your thoughts go

«I'm just tired I guess» you said

And turned away your head

You just turned away your head

What am I to say

(You just turned away your head)

Inside I don’t want to stay

Oh 'cos I’ve been on the town, sick and tired of your frown

(I'm so tired of waiting)

What am I to say

(You just turned away your head)

I could not stand another day

Oh I wish that you could see

That it is all over for me

And if I met another guy

Who could not say I would not lie

Cos I’ve been on the town

I’ve been on the town

Cos I’ve been on the town

I’ve been on the town

I’ve been on the town

I’ve been on the town

I’ve been on the town

I’ve been on the town

I’ve been on the town
