Bethnal Green Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You hear about the guy up in Bethnal Green? Lost his life under a drink machine What a way to die Never got the chance to pursue his dream Lost it all there for a fizzy drink And that was his life [Chorus] (Oh, woah-oh) All I want to make is a difference Not fade away into insignificance I'm not gonna lie But everyday's a little more difficult Holding out hope for a miracle Maybe I'm aiming too high [Verse 2] And then there was a lady on Upland Road Lost her life pruning a garden rose What a way to die Apparently her final dying words Were something like, "Damn these secateurs" And that was her life [Chorus] (Oh, woah-oh) All I want to make is a difference Not fade away into insignificance And I'm gonna try But everyday's a little more difficult I'm holding out hope for a miracle Maybe I'm aiming too high [Bridge] Just keep breathing, darling We're all stumbling through the night Like a star that's falling Catch the world that's passing by, woah Blue diamond Blue diamond Blue diamond skies [Verse 3] So everyday I'm trying my very best Just to be more than self-obsessed How's that working out? I can't get away from my little screen Hoping for a hit of the dopamine I guess that's modern life [Chorus] (Oh, woah-oh) All I want to make is a difference Not fade away into insignificance I'm not gonna lie But everyday's a little more difficult Holding out hope for a miracle Maybe I'm aiming too high [Outro] Too high (Blue diamond) Yeah too high (Blue diamond) Too high (Blue diamond skies) Maybe I'm aiming too high
