24 Hours Lyrics - 10 Cc

Here on the street 

Feeling the cool of the dawn 

Shuffling feet 

Faces are ragged and worn 

They've been working all night 

Waiting for the curtain to rise 

While you're under the sheets 

You with the stars in your eyes 

Letter box noise 

Snapping the day into life 

Newspaper boys 

Cutting the mist like a knife 

We're beginning to rise 

Curtain up the drama begins 

It's the start of the race 

All of us wanting to win

People rushing shouting pushing 

Got no time for conversation 

Inner city population 

The struggle for communication 

People trying pressure rising 

Hook and hustle flex your muscle 

It's all part of living 

Do you want to get away 

Restaurant smells 

Mix in the heat of the day 

Telephone bells 

Kissogram girls on her way 

Someone's thinking of you 

Birthday boy is in for a treat 

And the message is clear 

Once a year life can be sweet 

Photos 

Caught in a flash 

Cover girl freezes her smile 

Media trash 

Blinding the crowd with such style 

It's a dazzling affair 

A fantasy to star in your dreams 

Do you want to believe 

Everyone knows what they've seen 

Twilight time in the city 

And the shutters are down 

That's when the singles are lost in their doubles 

The happy hour comes round 

To help you unwind in the shadows 

Takes the tension away 

It's been a hell of a day in the city 

Now it's your time to play 

Living under pressure 

Do you want to buy a dream? 

I say Phil can you get it he say 

Alright alright alright 

Tell me when can I get it he say 

Tonight tonight tonight 

I want money on delivery hey 

That's right that's right that's right 

I say baby don't you trust me he say 

The city's a jungle where the strongest survive 

Neonic heat 

Flooding the darkness with light 

The capitol beats 

Feeding the pulse of the night 

It's the music of life 

Listen to the sound of the crowd 

Where the rhythm's so strong 

And the music is playing so loud 

Where the rhythm's so strong 

And the music is playing so
