Leipzig
-------
Thirty-nine and you need some leeway
Soon you're eying the overseas page
The trains are running late
As you close the garden gate
Stepping through your steel front door frame
Dinner's in the microwave, sweetie
Leipzig is calling you, Henry (on the cardboard thoroughfare)
Leipzig is calling you, James
Leipzig is calling you, Leonard (the clouds run parallel)
Leipzig is calling you names
Cars were burning
On yellow lines
Wheels turning
Traffic light...change
Another misty bus queue morning
Faces smile down from a hoarding
Stoop to the bin
Drop something in
Well you'll soon feel yourself again
And every place is just the same, isn't it?
Leipzig is calling you, Benny (from the mouth of the megaphone)
Leipzig is calling you, James
Leipzig is calling you, Leonard (and other cartoon characters)
Leipzig is calling you names
Like the sound of taxi brakes
The sound of a dentist's drill
The colour of skates on ice under clingfilm
It's calling
Leipzig is calling you names
Hear it calling.
Every place is just the same isn't it?
Leipzig is calling you, Benny (from the mouth of the megaphone)
Leipzig is calling you, James
Leipzig is calling you, Leonard (and other cartoon characters)
Leipzig is calling you names
