Day after day you get on the train
From Kensal Rise to Camden Town
You spend your days working in a shop
Selling teenage dreams and vintage clothes
Day after day, the same routine
We're only as dark as the secrets we keep
The weekends always start at Paradise
Where lines and friends and drinks go by
As you enter the night
Oh, oh
I know
You set the night on fire to forget about yesterday
Oh, oh
I know
Every Monday morning comes and it's all the same again
You sometimes dream of taking off
Leaving behind you the lights of London
Maybe a month in Spain would do it
Or a move to New York, just like in the movies
Day after day, oh it's time for a change
When London feels too small and you need to escape
You thought that you'd be somewhere else by now
With someone who would love you and give you the world
Living the high life
Oh, oh
You set the night on fire to forget about yesterday
Oh, oh
I know
Every Monday morning comes and it's all the same again
He's gone
Oh, what will you do?
He left a memory and now it's growing in you
Oh, oh
I know
You wake up naked and alone
And tomorrow it's Monday
Oh, oh
I know
You set the night on fire to forget about yesterday
Oh, oh
I know
Every Monday morning comes and it's all the same again
He's gone
What will you do?
He left a memory and now it's growing in you
You're only 22, what will you do?
He didn't use protection and now it's growing in you

It's Friday morning
And you rush out of bed
Getting dressed for success
And then you're off
To the office towers where you work as an intern
At the firm that your daddy owns
And later you'll take the train from Victoria Station
To Worthing
Where you grew up in a house by the sea
And I will be back here
Standing in the bar
Serving gentlemen on a role
Wasting time on going nowhere at all
Oh, Claudia
What have you become?
What if your daddy knew
That you're slumming on St Pauls Avenue?
Take a look at yourself
You and no one else
It's in the air that we breathe
We share the same chemistry
Your boyfriend is coming too
With some friends of yours
And you'll hang out in a house by the sea
Having cocktails
And telling jokes about the bartender
Around the corner from where you work
Who always look at you
You can see that he's dreaming
Of someone and a life he'll never have
Oh, if they only knew
That we're fucking
And that the air that we breathe
Holds the same chemistry
No matter what class we're supposed to be
Oh, Claudia
What have you become?
What if your daddy knew
That you're slumming on St Pauls Avenue?
Take a look at yourself
You and no one else
It's in the air that we breathe
We share the same chemistry
I know I'm your favourite waste of time
And that's all I will ever be
You don't fool me
I know you can't love me
'Cause I can't buy you a life by the sea
Oh, Claudia
What have you become?
What if your daddy knew
That you're slumming on St Pauls Avenue?
Take a look at yourself
You and no one else
It's in the air that we breathe
We share the same chemistry
I know your kind, Claudia
You're from a different class
We breathe the same air
And that's the only chemistry we share
