[Verse 1]
London in the low tide of the night
And not a taxi cab in sight
Anesthetized I start the journey home
I've been living months alone
I've been avoiding things
The phone rings
I use the answerphone
[Pre-Chorus]
Inside-out in the daytime
Outside-in in the night time
Inside-out in the daytime
Wrong at the right time
[Chorus]
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
[Verse 2]
Soho in the high tide of the day
And for a while I'm swept away
I just forget it
I use my Walkman when I walk
And I don't talk
But later on the moment's gone and I don't get it
[Pre-Chorus]
Inside-out in the daytime
Outside-in in the night time
Inside-out in the daytime
Wrong at the right time
[Chorus]
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
[Bridge]
Who shall I be tonight?
Who's gonna see tonight?
Who shall I be tonight?
[Pre-Chorus]
Inside-out in the daytime
Wrong at the right time
I wanna know I'm good for you
Outside-in in the night time
Right at the wrong time
I wanna know I'm good to you
[Chorus]
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
[Outro]
No, no, no, no
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down down down down
London in the low tide of the night
And not a taxi cab in sight
Anesthetized I start the journey home
I've been living months alone
I've been avoiding things
The phone rings
I use the answerphone
[Pre-Chorus]
Inside-out in the daytime
Outside-in in the night time
Inside-out in the daytime
Wrong at the right time
[Chorus]
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
[Verse 2]
Soho in the high tide of the day
And for a while I'm swept away
I just forget it
I use my Walkman when I walk
And I don't talk
But later on the moment's gone and I don't get it
[Pre-Chorus]
Inside-out in the daytime
Outside-in in the night time
Inside-out in the daytime
Wrong at the right time
[Chorus]
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
[Bridge]
Who shall I be tonight?
Who's gonna see tonight?
Who shall I be tonight?
[Pre-Chorus]
Inside-out in the daytime
Wrong at the right time
I wanna know I'm good for you
Outside-in in the night time
Right at the wrong time
I wanna know I'm good to you
[Chorus]
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
When you're down and troubled
You don't tell your friends
You don't tell your family
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down
[Outro]
No, no, no, no
I won't let them talk about me
I'm gonna let nobody down down down down
