Bow bells say goodbye to the last train
over the river they all go again
out into leafy nowhere
hope someone's waiting out there for them

Cabbie has his mind on a fare to the sun
he works night but it's not much fun
picks up the London yo-yos
all on their own down Soho take me home

Other people wouldn't like to hear you if you said
that these are the best days of our lives
other people turn around and laught at you if you said
that these are the best days of our lives

Trellick Tower's been calling
I know she'll leave me in the morning
in hotel cells listening to dial tones
remote controls and cable moans
in his drink he's talking
gets disconnected sleepwalking back home

Other people wouldn't like to hear you if you said
that these are the best days of our lives
other people turn around and laugh at you if you said
that these are the best days of our lives of our lives

Other people wouldn't like to hear you if you said
that these are the best days of our lives
other people turn around and laugh at you if you said
that these are the best days of our lives
other people break into a cold sweat if you said
that these are the best days of our lives
and other people turn around and laugh at you if you said
that these are the best days of our lives of our lives
