Pet Shop Boys Will-O-The-Wisp Lyrics

I see you after many years
On an elevated train
Rattling above the streets of a city
Where men don't wait in vain
I think, my, you may have changed
But you're such a handsome thing
Do you still hang around that old arcade
To see what luck will bring?

(Will of the wisp)
The U1 is such a party train
(Will-o-the-wisp)
From Uhland to Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emerging from below past Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
In search of love and laughter
(Will-o-the-wisp)

Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh

You were always such a free spirit
A bright-eyed eager chap
A will-o-the-wisp and charming with it
In your battered leather cap
(Will-o-the-wisp)
But maybe you've gone respectable
With a wife and job and all that
Working for the local government
And living in a rented flat?

(Will-o-the-wisp)
The U1 is such a party train
(Will-o-the-wisp)
From Uhland to Warschauerstraße (Will-o-the-wisp)
Emerging from below past Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
In search of love and laughter
(Will-o-the-wisp)

And you, my former will-o-the-wisp
Will you recognize me today?
Give me a smile for old time's sake
Before you run away

(Will-o-the-wisp)
You were always such a free spirit
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Aren't you getting bored?
(Will-o-the-wisp)
A will-o-the-wisp and charming with it
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Who loved to be adored
(Will-o-the-wisp)
The U1 is such a party train
(Will-o-the-wisp)
From Uhland to Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emerging from below past Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
In search of love and laughter
(Will-o-the-wisp)
You were always such a free spirit
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Who came and went so much
(Will-o-the-wisp)
A will-o-the-wisp and charming with it
I'm still longing for your touch
(Will-o-the-wisp)
