[00:00.00]Down in the Street Below - The Divine Comedy
[00:07.27]Press the doorbell and push the door
[00:12.98]Climb the darkened stairwell to the second floor
[00:19.00]She'll be waiting for you in her dressing-gown
[00:24.84]With the drink she poured you
[00:27.12]When she heard the sound
[00:31.16]Watch the film eat the food she cooked
[00:37.05]Talk of how the film ain't
[00:39.09]Half as good as the book
[00:43.05]Kiss her sleepy eyes closed and say "it's time"
[00:48.70]To slip beneath the shadows
[00:51.19]Of the bedroom blinds
[00:53.83]Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore
[00:59.88]But you just don't know
[01:02.37]Whether you're doing it for the right reasons
[01:10.93]It's cold for the season
[01:16.20]Down in the street below
[01:25.36]Men and women go about their business
[01:28.94]Picking up the last few things for Christmas
[01:32.59]Trying not to step upon the pigeons
[01:36.24]Praying to the gods of their religions
[01:39.92]That they might be spared a little longer
[01:43.91]That they might become a little stronger
[01:47.26]Down in the street below
[01:55.34]Everybody's on a secret mission
[01:59.06]Everybody's got their own ambitions
[02:02.79]They would tell you
[02:04.19]If they thought you'd listen
[02:06.33]They would say how
[02:07.83]Lately they've been wishing
[02:10.13]For the chance to meet a handsome stranger
[02:13.75]Lead a life of elegance and danger
[02:17.32]Down in the street below
[02:25.19]Down in the street below
[02:34.77]Way up high in a phallic tower
[02:40.23]You're swimming in a tiny galaxy of stars
[02:46.64]Knocking back mojitos at the cocktail bar
[02:52.62]Talking 'bout burritos and conceptual art
[02:58.38]Your armchair's round and your glass is square
[03:04.06]The clientele's straight out
[03:06.61]Of this month's Vanity Fair
[03:10.30]Well look around the place
[03:12.94]Something's not quite right
[03:16.31]Yours is the only face that you don't recognize
[03:21.61]Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore
[03:27.44]But you just don't know
[03:29.70]Whether you're doing it for the right reasons
[03:38.66]It's cold for the season down in the street below
[03:55.85]Down in the street below
[04:11.34]Well it's always a pleasure and never a chore
[04:16.43]But you just don't know
[04:17.66]Whether you're doing it for the right reasons
[04:26.72]It's cold for the season down in the street below
