Pentonville Road

from FIRECRACKER DAY by TREVOR CLAWSON

lyrics

We walked all the way from Angel to Trafalgar Square
Starting down the Pentonville Road
3.00am and a light rain falling
Not sensible I know.
Because we could have got a taxi or we could have got a bus
Should have got a lift from a a friend
But we walked from Angel to Pentonville Road
Because we didn’t want the night to end.

Underneath the lighthouse, past Kings Cross Station
Through St Pancras down to Russell Square
We talked about this and we talked about that
We were freezing in the morning air
And you talked about your mother, you sister and your mother
Talked about your father too
And by the time we made it to big museum
I’d lost my heart to you.

And ooooh…..it doesn’t get any better than this
And ooooh ….that’s the way that it starts
You find someone who catches your eye
Someone you might move some time
And you take a little walk outside
And the city is yours tonight
And you’re mapping it out in your heart
Getting close in a café in Old Compton Street
Until somebody said hey get a room
So we went outside in the neon light
And laughed by the light of the moon
And I didn’t have much money
And neither had you
But we bought ourselves a bottle of wine
We went down to the River
And sat by the water
Watched the cruise boats rolling by.

And I came to this city
Didn’t know anyone
And no one at all knew me
Now every street I walk has got a picture of you and a sweet, sweet memory

There was a park in the Autumn, sweet chestnuts fell
Crunching beneath out feet
Chinese women took them home for the pot
There was a café where we used to meet
There was phone box where I called you
All I got was a ringing tone
There was a windynight when we said goodbye
South Circular took me home
And hey….this is not a sad song.
END
