Under Neon - Hue & Cry

A light is falling on schoolkid lovers

Cold and blue as their eyes and hands

He’ll remember — but she will imagine

That moonshine fell on a handsome man

He’s underneath the grid and lattice

A burning office constellation

And there’s a strip that’s flickering madly

He concentrates with desperation

Under neon, under neon

I have lived and I have died

Under neon, under neon

I have passed my precious time

Under neon, I pass my time

I stare upon the city’s horror

Tracing out its symmetry

The local council’s hypnotist

Has turned the street lights on for me

There’s no escaping poetry

It finds you as you are in despair

And neon claws out the city’s darkness

As you close your eyes and you turn away

Under neon, under neon

I have lived and I have died

Under neon, under neon

I have passed my precious time

Under neon, I pass my time

A light is falling on schoolkid lovers

It’s cold and blue as their eyes and hands

He’ll remember — but she’ll imagine

That moonshine fell on a handsome man

Under neon, under neon

I have lived and I have died

Under neon, under neon

I have passed my precious time

Under neon, I pass my time

Under neon, I pass my time

Under neon

Moonshine fell on a handsome man

Under neon, under neon

Moonshine feel on a handsome man

Under neon, under neon

Poetry is at least worth finding
