Rory Gallagher Philby Lyrics

Philby Lyrics

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.  2x 



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'n disconnected but I don't need pity, 

The night's
gonna burn on slow. 



Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  2x 



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.  2x 



Four o'clock and nothing's moving, 

Six o'clock
and the daylight's stirring, 

Morning comes, must be moving on. 

All night long my mind's been burning, 

Makes me feel such a long,
long way from home, home 



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
