Coldharbour Lane - Tom Robinson

The first night I dared to come out on the town

It was hard believing my eyes

Met a fresh faced teacher in a big leather coat

On a dancefloor crowded with guys

And though he never told me he loved me

I know he never told me no lies

Hoping… moping

Freezing at the bus stop in Coldharbour Lane

Blew it… knew it

Hitting the bottle I could hardly remember his name

Wasn’t too easy

It wasn’t slow

You wanna leave me

You’d better go

Time out taking the tube into town

To the upstairs room on the right

Stuck in the middle but feeling the need

To keep it up night after night

One time I hit the jackpot

Made out with the hottest in sight

Grinning… winning

He was a slim dark mover

With devastating eyes

Fun night… one night

He came and left me there barely saying goodbye

Boozing… cruising

Bitterly sipping a half pint of 'E'

Who’s he… choosing

Clenching my toes

And just wishing to God it was me

Wasn’t too easy

It wasn’t slow

You wanna leave me

You’d better go
