The Ballad of Lou Room

David brought an angel to the doorway of our flat

But I mistook her for a lover and said we ain’t got no room here for that

If I’d have looked him in the eye I would have understood the truth

Hell resides much deeper than the London Tube.

When I first met Lou Room I said well she’ll never hear this song

But now I’m not so sure of anything

but I could swear I hear her singing along

In the pouring rain and feigned disdain

just dripping from the tooth

Sometimes the sky drops a lullaby and here is your proof

And he said you’re my saviour

And she said you’re my favourite

Whisper caught up in the corners of every room

And he said I feel broken

And she said I’m just hoping

That the last 20 minutes doesn’t change what you came here to do

Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou Room

Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou Room

Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou Room

Is anybody falling for..., Is everybody falling for Lou

In a green room deep in Camden Town, on the cusp of a mercurial night

We were struck with fear the night before,

but somehow something this time just seemed right

When the doorway by the stairs pushed open,

he smiled, guess what I lost a bet.

Sometimes you settle for nothing, sometimes you settle for nothing

Sometimes you settle for nothing and end up with the best…
