i can forget my loneliness by chewing gum    stumble into several arms and strip away the day's decay    sadness is a way of life for bitter me    but don't you quote me the prophets    'cause i know it's wrong    but it's not for long    if i had eyes like river would you take some notice of me?   if i had lips like river would you talk to me?    now i walk the streets of london    and i look around at the people rushing by    where do they go? do they even know?    i hear they staple sequins to their sooty souls    just to tempt this acolyte from his real world    his only world    if i had eyes like river    would you take some notice of me?    if I had lips like river would you talk to me now?   talk to me now    talk to me now    talk to me now
