Leipzig is Calling

Lyrics

Thirty-nine and you need some leeway
 Soon you're eyeing the overseas page
 The trains are running late as you close the garden gate
 Step through your steel front doorframe
 "Dinner's in the microwave, sweetie"
 Leipzig is calling you Henry (on the cardboard thoroughfare)
 Leipzig is calling you Jane
 Leipzig is calling you Leonard (and the clouds run parallel)
 Leipzig is calling you names
 Cars were burning on yellow lines
 Wheels turning, traffic lights change
 Another misty bus-queue morning
 Faces smile down from a hoarding
 Stoop to the bin, drop something in
 Well you'll soon feel yourself again
 And every place is just the same, isn't it?
 Leipzig is calling you, Benny (from the mouth of the megaphone)
 Leipzig is calling you, James
 Leipzig is calling you, Leonard (and other cartoon characters)
 Leipzig is calling you names
 Like the sound of taxi brakes
 The sound of a dentist's drill
 The colour of skates on ice under clingfilm
 It's calling:
 Leipzig is calling you names
 Hear it calling
 And every place is just the same isn't it?
 Leipzig is calling you, Benny (from the mouth of the megaphone)
 Leipzig is calling you, James
 Leipzig is calling you, Leonard (and other cartoon characters)
 Leipzig is calling you names
