He was just a young boy in the city Clouds of smoke he sought to find his dreams Swayed hair and his pipe he walked through the white city The hows-your-father bookies run the scene
She was just a young girl in the city Struggling with life love and money Weaving through the streets and looking so so pretty The rummest sort Stockwell had ever seen The rummest sort Stockwell had ever seen... seen
I've spent my days in the haze with the iceman I've spent my nights wondering the wards I've spent my days in the haze with the iceman It means the iceman is always on call
She started work on the last day of November Spilling drinks in a seedy cabaret show He met her on the first day of December Outside a a bookshop on the Charing Cross road
Those winter nights they'd walk along the river He'd chain-smoke and she'd stare up at the sky And say this life, this love, this river has to end But just for now we have all the time Just for now we have all the time... time
Don't spend your days in the haze with the iceman Don't spend your nights wandering the wards Don't spend your days in the haze with the iceman Because it means nothing at all
Don't spend your days in the haze with iceman (Don't spend your days in the haze with the iceman) Don't spend your nights wandering the wards (Don't spend your nights wandering the wards) Don't spend your days in the haze with the iceman It means nothing at all
Don't spend your days in the haze with the iceman Don't spend your nights wandering the wards Don't spend your days in the haze with the iceman It means nothing at all
Just for now we have all the time Just for now we have all the time
