Well, the swallows came to land here in London town And now they're fighting for the spaces in the underground Are they still fascinated by the life they've found? Since the swallows came to land here in London town Strange afternoon Thinking of you As the rain comes down Well, when Betty came to see me, she was on her way Found a major disappointment with an English play She said she really only wanted someone with something to say And before I even said it, she was on her way Strange afternoon Following the moon Through the underground Holding their own Tin bells ringing Looking for a home On the platform ceiling alone Well, since the swallows came to land here in London town I see them selling books and flowers in the underground Ooh, are they still fascinated by the life they've found? Since the swallows came to land here in London town Ooh, strange afternoon Following the moon Through the underground Strange afternoon Thinking of you As the rain comes down Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh
