West End Girls (Live at The Royal Opera House, 2018)

Sometimes, you're better off dead

There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head

You think you're mad, too unstable

Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables

In a restaurant in a West End town

Call the police, there's a madman around

Running down underground

To a dive bar in a West End town

In a West End town, a dead-end world

The East End boys and West End girls

In a West End town, a dead-end world

The East End boys and West End girls

West End girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices

Faces on posters, too many choices

If, when, why, what?

How much have you got?

Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?

And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?

In a West End town, a dead-end world

The East End boys and West End girls

West End town, a dead-end world

The East End boys and West End girls

West End girls

West End girls

In a West End town, a dead-end world, you sing it

(The East End boys and West End girls)

(In a West End town, a dead-end world)

(The East End boys and West End girls)

(West End girls)

You can find a place that no one knows

Where money talks and streets are gold

Someone stands in every door

And if they speak, they break the law

Ask a question, blank faces

Read the news and turn the pages

Watch them play a different game

And no one knows your name

No one knows your name

No one knows your name

West End girls

You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone

Just you wait till I get you home

We've got no future, we've got no past

Here today, built to last

In every city, in every nation

From Lake Geneva to the Finland station

In a West End town, a dead-end world

(The East End boys and West End girls)

(In a West End town, a dead-end world)

(The East End boys and West End girls)
