When the hungry days are gone
Then came the hungry nights
Holding on to what you've got
Standing in the spotlight
They'll show you mostly
What they want you to see
Walking the city at midnight
And whistling in the dark
Many times you've been down here
And seen the mess they make
Putting on your party face
Occasionally it's fake
Sometime in the future
Whan you wre carefully
Trying to do the right thing
And showing some discipline
Living knowing you've done nothing wrong
Living as if you've done nothing wrong
You knew it could happen
You knew that it would
Who's been causing problems
In the neighbourhood
Who's been breaking windows
Generally misunderstood
Living, living in Scotland Yard
Living, living in Scotland Yard
You knew it could happen
You knew that it would
Living in, living in Scotland Yard
Living in, living in Scotland Yard
Living in - did the right thing
Living in Scotland Yard - in the end
Living in, living in Scotland Yard
