"Escape Song" lyrics - GRAHAM COXON

Streets are hard in this old town, love lies broken all around
In sorry piles that carry on for miles
Stinking places where you go, the good people hide below
The bloody ground never to be found

Little girl I tell no lie, you got diamonds in your eyes
So come with me, sail across the sea
Mister Ocean can't you see? We are begging on our knees
To see the sand of some other land

Stay with me, we'll be free, just wait and see
