Tom Tom the bottom end is gone
The phone rings 
And I hope that James is wrong
Tom Tom he was the quiet one
His love now left in mourning
For Happy's only son

So If your heart is slowly breaking
Feel the pulse this song is making

Tom Tom always right in tune
He's groovin' on the left side
Down in the engine room
Jamming In a dream 
From 40 years ago
I need to play along
And I want you all to know

Keep the love but lose the sorrow
And let it fly into tomorrow

He's flying away from the great 
Cold city
Flying out of London in the rain
In the rain
All those years long ago
Were a stitch in time
Sweet as sugar cane 
Sweet as sugar cane

Tom tom he's always looking down
Reading something sent from home
When he's not around
Tom tom the mystery is long
Tell me did you leave us
One more highway song
Now we're on the plane
Or getting on the bus
Walking to the stage
Ashes dust to dust

And if your heart is slowly breaking 
Won't you feel the pulse
This song is making no mistaking
Tom Tom he was the quiet one
Tom Tom the bottom end is gone
Tom Tom the mystery is long
