lyrics

Stopped to wave at the train I should've been on
And the man in my seat looks tired and drawn
Lip-reading arguments on Platform 1
Tug-of-war, suitcase spills its decorum

But there's no one to step in and save
No guard in shining armour
But there's no one to step in and save
No God in shining armour
What more can a good sport do

Two men, two pianos, one concourse show
One can barely hold a tune, one virtuoso
As the Arrivals gate is swept open
Which melody will win the battle?

But there's no one to step in and save
No guard in shining armour
But there's no one to step in and save
No God in shining armour
What more can a good sport do

High above the river and city
Big Ben looks like a toy clock tower
Chiming for the millionth time
But might as well be opening night
Dancing around the hotel room
To the New York Dolls
I am a jet boy
Fuelled by something I can almost taste
I'm holding London in my hand

What more can a good sport do
