Lyrics
Just a few miles out of London,
But it feels like forever.
The walking only aches,
Regardless of the weather.
Got a ticket to ride,
But I swallowed up my pride -
When she offered me a lift -
Hell, I had nowhere else to hide.
(chorus:)
Julie heard a song on the radio.
Doesn't catch the band (she can hum it though)
I don't know where we are,
But we're lost in Julie's car,
And we're headed out the city,
To someplace special.
Ring in to the office,
'Cos I'm just not well today.
Julie's passing through and -
She stopped by on her way.
Despite the pain last time,
I guess I tugged her line.
She reeled me in, and reeling,
I just shrugged and said "I'm fine".
(only hinted at)
We're somewhere, maybe nowhere,
When she smiles all over me.
She stops the car, I take her hand,
"Girl, run away with me -"
"I want to be in your life."
But she frowns and starts to drive,
She drops me home in silence,
And drives off, one more time.
She takes the A102(M),
And heads under the Blackwall.
She turns the car northwards again,
And starts the homeward crawl.
She knows where she's gonna go,
And where she's coming from.
And everything that Julie says,
Is something she has done.
(And it really turns me on)
