The Swallows of London Town Songtext
von The Autumn Defense

Well, the swallows came to land here in London town
And now they′re fighting for the spaces in the underground
Are they still fascinated by the life they've found?
Since the swallows came to land here in London town
Strange afternoon
Thinking of you
As the rain comes down
Well, when Betty came to see me, she was on her way
Found a major disappointment with an English play
She said she really only wanted someone with something to say
And before I even said it, she was on her way
Strange afternoon
Following the moon
Through the underground
Holding their own


Tin bells ringing
Looking for a home
On the platform ceiling alone
Well, since the swallows came to land here in London town
I see them selling books and flowers in the underground
Ooh, are they still fascinated by the life they′ve found?
Since the swallows came to land here in London town
Ooh, strange afternoon
Following the moon
Through the underground
Strange afternoon
Thinking of you
As the rain comes down
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
