Met her outside Brixton Station on a Tuesday afternoon She was smoking Marlboro Lights, humming to a tune Said "I've seen you round here before, you always look so lost" I said "Maybe I was waiting just for you to come across" We walked down to the cinema, some film we didn't watch Spent two hours in the darkness with her hand inside my palm She said "Take me to the chippy, buy me curry and some chips" Never knew that greasy food could taste like this She's got that look in her eyes Like she could see right through my lies And I'm falling, I'm falling Can you hear London calling? Cigarettes and cinema, that's how it all began Stumbling through the city with her fingers in my hand She's the soundtrack to my summer, she's the reason that I'm here Cigarettes and cinema, making everything so clear (La-la-la, la-la-la-la) Cigarettes and cinema! (La-la-la, la-la-la-la) Three months later, still together, can't believe my luck Every morning waking up, thinking I'm unstuck From the mediocrity of my ordinary life She makes the mundane magical, the darkness into light We're sitting on the rooftop watching aeroplanes go by She says "One day we'll be on one, leaving all this behind" But I don't want to go nowhere if she ain't by my side She's my London, she's my England, she's my national pride She's got that way about her That makes me a believer And I'm certain, I'm certain This is worth the hurting Cigarettes and cinema, that's where we found our way Dancing through the chaos of another London day She's the melody I'm humming, she's the words I cannot say Cigarettes and cinema, hope it never fades away Cigarettes and cinema, underneath the city lights She's the reason that I'm breathing, she's my wrong that feels so right She's my Saturday and Sunday, she's my everything and more Cigarettes and cinema, that's what life is for! And when the world gets heavy And the rain won't stop falling down She's my shelter, she's my reason She's my favourite part of town CIGARETTES AND CINEMA, THAT'S HOW WE FELL IN LOVE STUMBLING THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND, STARS SHINING UP ABOVE SHE'S THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO MY ORDINARY LIFE CIGARETTES AND CINEMA, SHE COULD BE MY WIFE CIGARETTES AND CINEMA, THIS IS OUR STORY NOW WRITTEN ON THE WALLS OF EVERY PLACE WE'VE BEEN AROUND SHE'S MY LONDON, SHE'S MY ENGLAND, SHE'S MY EVERYTHING CIGARETTES AND CINEMA, THAT'S WHY I SING! (La-la-la, la-la-la-la) Cigarettes and cinema! (La-la-la, la-la-la-la) Yeah, that's my girl!
