Simple Minds - Up On The Catwalk Lyrics
Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinningAnd dollars to deutchmarks, and pennies from heavenAnd up on the catwalk, theres one hundred millionWith letters from thousands that say ``just who are you?Theres one thousand names that can spring up in my mindBut youd call it blackmail and thats just not my kindAnd up on the catwalk, up on the catwalkAnd I dont know whyI will be there, I will be there, I will be thereI will be there, I will be thereUp on the catwalk theres street politiciansThat crawl in from broadway, say then who are youAnd up on the catwalk theres one thousand postcardsFrom montevideo, say that Ill be home soonGet out of bombay and go up to brixton and look around, to see just what is missingAnd up on the catwalk, girls call for mother and dream of their boyfriendsAnd I dont know whyI will be there, I will be there, I will be thereI will be there, I will be thereTonight, under the crystal light, Ill tell you everything I needTonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to meUp on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoatsAnd got brilliantino, and friends of kim philbyYou float through the night time, like manna from heavenBut what, what do I know, and just what do I knowAnd up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistensAnd I dont know why and I dont know whyI dont know whyI will be there, I will be there, I will be thereI will be there, I will be thereTonight, under the crystal light, Ill tell you everything I needTonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to meAngel angel angel angelAh huh ah huh ah huh ah huhOne thousand names that spring up in my mindOne thousand names that spring up in my mindLike deodata, michaelangelo, robert de niro, so many othersNatasia kinski and martin luther - theres room for others, away from meUp on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalkI dont know why.Words & music : james kerr, charlie burchill, mel gaynor, derek forbes, michael macneil (c) emi publishing ltd reproduced without permission
