Leipzig

Thirty-nine and you need some leeway Soon you're eying the overseas page The trains are running late as you close the garden gate Step through your steel front door frame "Dinner's in the microwave, sweetie" Leipzig is calling you Henry (on the cardboard thoroughfare) Leipzig is calling you Jane Leipzig is calling you Leonard (and the clouds run parallel) Leipzig is calling you names Cars were burning on yellow lines Wheels turning, traffic lights change Another misty bus-queue morning Faces smile down from a hoarding Stoop to the bin, drop something in Well you'll soon feel yourself again And every place is just the same, isn't it? Leipzig is calling you, Benny (from the mouth of the megaphone) Leipzig is calling you, James Leipzig is calling you, Leonard (and other cartoon characters) Leipzig is calling you names Like the sound of taxi brakes The sound of a dentist's drill The colour of skates on ice under clingfilm It's calling: Leipzig is calling you names Hear it calling And every place is just the same isn't it? Leipzig is calling you, Benny (from the mouth of the megaphone) Leipzig is calling you, James Leipzig is calling you, Leonard (and other cartoon characters) Leipzig is calling you names
