[Verse 1}
We live and we die
We love and we lie
In hope and in plan
Installed in Metroland

[Verse 2}
Sylvan, Villa line
Elegance in decline
Control on command
Consumed in Metroland

[Chorus}
You say run away
I say here we stand
Today is yesterday
Everyday in metroland

[Verse 3}
We fail and we fall
We fear and we crawl
With faith in our hands
We've burned in metroland

[Chorus}
You say run away
I say here we stand
Today is yesterday
Everyday in metroland
You say run away
I say here we stand
Today is yesterday
Everyday in metroland

Metroland... metroland
Metroland... in metroland
Every day in metroland, metroland...
Metroland metroland
