	Story Behind the Song This is a tale of how life can sometimes feel in a city. I wrote this when I was living near Glasgow. I stayed at friend's house in the middle of a slightly scarey housing scheme. For some reason - and it was probably alcohol related - when I looked out the window, I thought of people living their lives in the rows of buildings in front of me, anaffecting and anaffected by the bright and vibrant city nearby. Lyrics Infertile lands we can decry Parallel lines reach out to touch the sky Formless clouds drift through the day Spiriting your hopeless dreams away Trapped in boxes sometimes the try To break free with a stubborn cry Only to be blinded by the light Tumbling back into the depths of night Scenes from a window, paintings in the sun Shining down to save the unhappy ones See the city of light shine - bright so bright A busy neon nightime, what a sight Like a canopy of stars, so near but so far The treasures of a lifetime, mine all mine Like a scene from a dream, the part of a play There is nothing we can do and nothing we can say Just stay under the knife of the architects of life
