Still Life Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

I walked down by the river where we used to go 

And underneath the bridge where we first kissed 

The old town that we knew is dead and gone, gone 

The sickly sun shines grayly through the mist 

And like the love we used to know 

The poisoned river waters flow 

And then they're gone 

For some of us still life moves on 

Our love is just a relic of the past 

You'd never recognize the old town now 

Somewhere behind the concrete and the glass 

The monuments of England's sacred cow 

Where are all the human beings? 

Have they been sent to Milton Keynes? 

They used to live round here but now they're gone 

For some of us still life moves on
