You were a perfect stranger And I your perfect strangler In the brushed steel lift Of the great department store The tightening grip of leather gloves Purchased from the floor above La, la, la la, la, la la Your eyes filled with confusion Those helpless, twitching movements The lips discoloured slightly round the edge The loneliness of lift music Its beauty and arithmetic La, la, la la, la, la la, la, la, la, la A foggy night in London town The office workers calmly going about their business The shops and markets closing down People buying murder mysteries for the night train back to Cheam The tightening grip of leather gloves I purchased from the floor above The slipping girl I could have loved I squeeze your tiny, pointless life away La, la, la la, la, la la, la, la, la, la Mantovani, James Last And you The loneliness of lift music Its magic and magnificence I squeeze your tiny, pointless life away You a perfect stranger And I your perfect strangler La, la, la la, la, la la, la, la, la, la
