Mr Cricklewood

Verse 1

Grey

Pavement cracks

The bus is late

A plastic bag caught on a rusted gate

Nowhere to be

Walking slow

Past the shop where the shutters stay down

Quiet town

Chorus

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

No it never does

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Just the way it was

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing at all

Verse 2

Dust

Settles on glass

The sky stays flat

Watching a thin and hungry ginger cat

Same old faces

Waiting

Waiting for a sign that never shows

Wind blows

Rain hits the brick

Cold air

Cold feet

Cold heart

Chorus

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

No it never does

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Just the way it was

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing at all

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe next week

Maybe never

Still the same street

Still the same view

Still me

Still you

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Silence

Broken by a siren far away

Another Tuesday fading into grey

No change

No rush

No fuss

Just us

Chorus

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

No it never does

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Just the way it was

Nothing happens in Cricklewood

Nothing at all

Outro

Cricklewood

So quiet

So still

Always will be

Nothing happens

Nothing at all

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing
