philby  -  rory  gallagher

now  ain't  it  strange  that  i  feel  like  philby

there's  a  stranger  in  my  soul

i'm  lost  in  transit  in  a  lonesome  city

i  can't  come  in  from  the  cold

i'm  deep  in  action  on  a  secret  mission

contact's  broken  down

time  drags  by  i'm  above  suspicion

there's  a  voice  on  the  telephone

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

well  it  sure  is  dark  in  this  clockwork  city

contact's  never  gonna  show

i've  got  a  code  which  can't  be  broken

my  eyes  never  seem  to  close

well  i'm  standing  here  in  the  silent  city

shadows  falling  down

i'm  disconnected  but  i  don't  need  pity

the  night's  gonna  burn  on  slow

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

now  ain't  it  funny  that  i  feel  like  philby

a  stranger  on  a  foreign  shore

i've  got  my  plans  and  i  must  move  quickly

there's  a  knock  upon  the  door

still  in  transit  and  i'm  close  to  danger

my  cover  can't  be  blown

it's  getting  strange  and  it's  getting  crazy

tell  me  what  is  going  on

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

four  o'clock  and  nothing's  moving

six  o'clock  and  the  daylight's  stirring

a  morning  comes  must  be  moving  on

all  night  long  my  mind's  been  burning

makes  me  feel  such  a  long  long  way  from  home

oh

now  ain't  it  strange  that  i  feel  like  philby

there's  a  stranger  in  my  soul

i'm  lost  in  transit  in  a  lonesome  city

i  can't  come  in  from  the  cold

but  i'm  deep  in  action  on  a  secret  mission

contact's  broken  down

time  drags  by  i'm  above  suspicion

there's  a  voice  on  the  telephone

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah

yeah  yeah  yeah
