When I think of those eastern lights, muggy nights

You nearly had me roped and tied
Moribund, hypnotised, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
...
Sit loose, hangin' in my darkest dreams
And strangled by your heart of social scenes
...
Sick and tired, thank God my music's still alive
...
So save your friends, and run the field you play alone

When I think of those East End lights, muggy nights

Prima donna, lord, you really should-a been there

And it's one more beer, and I don't hear you anymore

Altar-bound, hypnotised, sweet freedom whispered in my ear
...
A slip noose hangin' in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
...
Saved in time, thank God my music's still alive
...
So save your strength, and run the field you play alone
