Alone in London Songtext
von The Natvral

Alone in London as we were then
You smoked by the window as I stared from the bed
That room in Willesden where I felt semi divine
You made me mortal
You never called me mine

Drunk on the green I met your wine-stained lips
Felt the coarse touch of your tobbaco′d finger tips
Tried to resist you, I tried to decline
You were always deaf to that
But you never called me mine

Some boy up north says I best watch out
He thinks you love me, but I have my doubts
Between violent fantasies his tears soak the Tyne
He could save them
You never called me mine


Eugenie, Eugenie
All your hopes were hopelessly wasted on me
Your coral dawns have come and gone
I've got nothing to tell you now
Except you weren′t wrong

Was I unkind to thee, it may be true
Just knew the ocean was a lighter shade of you
And you were selfish, you stole the kiss off line
I let you have it, you never called me mine

Eugenie, Eugenie
You said I stood for nothing good, still you stood with me
Like others in arms covered in scars
All I wanted then was to stay where you were

Your next was worse but not by far
He stole the last of your laughs and bullied your weekend heart
So pour yourself a kingly cup, put on "Woman of Heart and Mind"
You always had more than I did, and you never called me mine

Alone in London, ten years have gone
No need to tell you what you've always known
That taste of honey has soured in time
Almost forgotten I never called you mine
Almost forgotten I never called you mine
