With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrowLondon ice cracks on a seamless line

Goes to a house in emperor's gate
Through the door and to his room
Then he puts the TV onTurns it off and makes some tea
Says, "modern life well, it's rubbish"
I'm holding on for tomorrowThen Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says, "Let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
It's windy there and the view's so nice"London ice can freeze your toes
Like anyone I suppose
I'm holding on for tomorrow
