lyrics

We found company in the dark of the club,
the music was deafning and the lights down low
On a cold winter night we left our friends, walked down the road
and waited for an age to get three night busses home

two lonely hearts in london town tonight
talk it through in stunted sentances 'till everything seems alright
but when we awake in that cold moring light
there's still two lonely hearts in london town tonight

Whiskey from a plastic bottle kept us warm inside
I could see that look of longing as we caught each others eye
spent fifteen quid just getting in, my mate sam got kicked out
but when we met up on the dancefloor i could see there were no doubt...

In unfamiliar streets full of unsmiling faces
the hum of the city as we passed though different places
spent my last two quid getting on that last bus
though it was full of people all that mattered there was us

As I walked past endless rows of houses on those city streets
into the bright white sky reached the bare black branches of the trees
I wondered as i wandered off if we'd ever meet again
and if we'd ever find someone we'd stay with till the end
