We all smile, we all sing

Turn left up the street

Nothing but grey concrete and deadbeats

Grab something to eat, Maccy D's or KFC?

Only one choice in the city, done voicing my pity

Now let's get to the nitty gritty

Tune reminds me of my first E

Plight unique, still sixteen and feeling horny

Point to the sky, feel free

A sea of people all equal, smiles in front and behind me

Swim in the deep blue sea, corn fields sway lazily

All smiles, all easy

"Where ya from, what's you on and what's your story?"

Mesmerising tones, rising pianos, this is my zone, so stop cloning

Pick paper, scissors or stone

'Cause me and you are the same

I've known you all my life, I don't know your name

The name's European Bob, sorted

Anyway, we'll have a dance now, see ya later

"Pleased to meet ya"; "Likewise, a pleasure"

The night slowly fades and goes slow motion

All the commotion becomes floating emotions

Same piano loops over

Arms wave, eyes roll back and jaws fall open

See in soft focus

Chatting to this bloke in the toilets

Dizzy new heights, blinded by the lights, these people are for life

It's all back to his place at the end of the night, yo

They could settle wars with this, if only they will

Imagine the world's leaders on pills

And imagine the morning after

Wars causing disaster

Don't talk to me, I don't know ya

But this ain't tomorrow, for now, I still love ya

Hours fly over

Sail 'round, diamonds and pearls

Never seen so many fit girls

Discover new worlds

Look at my watch, can't focus

Last two hours are lost

Every move fills me with lust

All of life's problems, I just shake off, yo

Mad little events happen

Things map out and a few blue maddens alight the toilets

Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us

Geezers on E's and first timers

Kids on wizz, darlings on Charlie

All comes together for this party

All races, many faces from places you've never heard of

"Where you from, what's your name and what you want?"

Sing to the words, flex to the fat ones

The tribal drums, the sun's rising

We all smile, we all sing

Then the girl in the café taps me on the shoulder

I realise five years went by and I'm older

Memories smoulder, winter's colder

But that same piano loops over and over and over

The road shines and the rain washes away

Same Chinese take-away selling shit in a tray

It's dark all 'round, I walk down

Same sights, same sounds, new beats, though

Solid concrete under my feet

No surprises, no treats

The world stands still as my mind slushes 'round

The washing-up bowl in my crown

My life's been up and down since I walked from that crowd
