For Tomorrow
He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
With the hands on the wheel
Trying not to make him sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the Westway
And so we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow, singing
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow, singing
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
Jim stops and gets out the car (la, la, la-la-la)
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Through the door and to his room (la, la, la-la-la)
Then he puts the TV on (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Turns it off and makes some tea (la, la, la-la-la)
Says: Modern life, well, it's rubbish, I'm (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Holding on for tomorrow
Then Susan comes into the room (la, la, la-la-la)
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Says: Let's take a drive to Primrose Hill (la, la, la-la-la)
It's windy there and the view's so nice (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
London ice can freeze your toes (la, la, la-la-la)
Like anyone, I suppose you're (la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)
Holding on for tomorrow
