Night bus from Brixton and Hilary's crying
She's trying to shake the hurt, Oliver and I are afraid of dying
We're all afraid of being alone sometimes
And the streets of London are being pretty unkind

She loves being in control, I'm being walked all over here
Don't tell me, I needn't know, I only hear what I wanna hear

Another night in the city
Another reason why this can never be home
I shouldn't have had that last glass of self pity
Another night alone

She's losing control, I'm feeling awful helpless here
Don't tell me, I needn't know, I only hear what I wanna hear

I needn't know all of the details
My diaphragm's letting me know all I need to know
I'll get the the first bus home tomorrow

I'm not gonna leave her though it's cold and I feel rough
I'm definitely glad I brought my hat and my gloves
I hope Oliver doesn't hate me too much
He'll be cycling through Scotland tomorrow when I wake up

We all love rock 'n' roll
But she likes Zeppelin, we prefer Quo
She loves being in control, I'm being walked all over here
Don't tell me, I needn't know, I only hear what I wanna hear

I needn't know all of the details
My diaphragm's letting me know all I need to know
I'll get the first bus home tomorrow
Yeah, tomorrow
