[Verse 1]
Let us forget any sadness
Together tonight
Pour me some wine
Turn off the light

[Chorus 1]
And look at the view from your balcony
London through your eyes
No one but you to keep me company
Twenty floors up a high-rise

[Verse 2]
In a romance of the old school
If you lived in this tower block
You'd be a victim of the system
A subject for punk rock

[Chorus 2]
But look at the view from your balcony
The sunset is searing the sky
And how proudly you are pointing out to me
London through your eyes

[Bridge]
How like a prince in a castle
Viewing dominions below
Telling me now in a whisper
Something I needed to know
[Chorus 1]
And look at the view from your balcony
London through your eyes
No one but you to keep me company
Twenty floors up a high-rise
