Scotland Yard Lyrics - Shifty Adventures In Nookie Wood - John Cale

When the hungry days are gone 

Then came the hungry nights 

Holding on to what you've got 

Standing in the spotlight 

They'll show you mostly 

What they want you to see 

Walking the city at midnight 

And whistling in the dark 

Many times you've been down here 

And seen the mess they make 

Putting on your party face 

Occasionally it's fake

Sometime in the future 

Whan you wre carefully 

Trying to do the right thing 

And showing some discipline 

Living knowing you've done nothing wrong 

Living as if you've done nothing wrong 

You knew it could happen 

You knew that it would 

Who's been causing problems 

In the neighbourhood 

Who's been breaking windows 

Generally misunderstood 

Living, living in Scotland Yard 

Living, living in Scotland Yard 

You knew it could happen 

You knew that it would

Living in, living in Scotland Yard 

Living in, living in Scotland Yard 

Living in - did the right thing 

Living in Scotland Yard - in the end 

Living in, living in Scotland Yard
