Under a neon sky 
The Harland Cranes they fill your eyes 
And through July parades 
I'm clinging on for dear life 

3000 miles from home 
My fragile heart was on the run 
And in the cold dark night I realised 
What I had done 

Please don’t turn your back
I’ll change somehow
Don’t look to the past
Our time is now

Under a neon sky 
My favourite boy 
Searched for the truth 
And he’d lead an easy life 
That was until he got to you

Please don’t turn your back
I’ll change somehow
Don’t look to the past
Our time is now

Get yourself out of town 
There's no point hanging round there's a passion inside 
You've had since your youth 
Well you write and you write and you work 9-5 
Well I'm doing it all just to satisfy you
