song used by the BBC as part of the Olympic 2012 coverage,
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I am gonna call that number, I don t really mean
To wake you from your slumber, While England is asleep.
The hotel is just like yesterdays, and the city has no name.
It just stands there in a grey haze, And my room is the same.
[Chorus]
Well , Im gonna call that number, So far across the sea,
I wish I was in London, Thats where i wanna be,Thats where i wanna be
[Verse 2]
I love it when you miss me, And I m unhappy too.
Oh please don t you forget me, I am so in love with you.
Yeah, it won t be long now, And even though I know
I seem to leave my heart behind me, Every time I go.
[CHORUS]
Well , Im gonna call that number, So far across the sea,
I wish I was in London, Thats where i wanna be
Well , Im gonna call that number, So far across the sea,
I wish I was in London, Thats where i wanna be
Thats where i wanna be
[Middle Eight]
Well, I feel so tired and lonely, I m thinking of you lover,
I wish you could console me, May be when it s over ...
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I am gonna call that number, Though I don t really mean
To wake you from your slumber, While England is asleep.
And the hotel is just like yesterday s, And the city has no name,
It just stands there in a grey haze, And my room is, my room is the same.
[Chorus]
Well , Im gonna call that number, So far across the sea,
I wish I was in London, Thats where i wanna be
Well , Im gonna call that number, So far across the sea,
I wish I was in London, Thats where i wanna be
Thats where i wanna be
[Fade Out]
