Hampstead Girl

The Dream Academy

Hampstead girl on Parliament Hill 
Drinks in the situation 
Hamstead brown not dressed to kill 
In a thousand variations 
And her blue eyes 
See those dark shadows in the sky 
And her choir like voice 
Cries for Love 
And you'd do anything you could 
Just to bring back the smile to her face 
Take all the blue out of her eyes 
And fill up the empty space 
With love and affection 
Take all the grey out of this town 
Give your protection 
If she'd just turn 'round 
Outside she smiles at the people 
But inside she cries 
Inside 
hampstead girl in the Vale of Health 
With a hundred imitation 
Hears the magic in the church bells 
But still longs for invitations 
And you'd like to take her with you 
But the time is never right 
And so you lose her 
When you go back down to the other side of town.
