Swinging London
Stephin Merritt
[Verse 1]
I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks
[Chorus]
Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging London
And forgot to come back
[Verse 2]
You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur
You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world
[Chorus x2]
Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging London
And forgot to come back
Planets crash, the world goes nova
Sun explodes, all goes black
You went off swinging London
And forgot to come back
Baby, come back
