Philby by Rory Gallagher

Now ain't it strange that I (1)________ like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul,
I'm (2)________ in transit in a lonesome city,
I can't (3)________ in from the cold,
I'm deep in (4)____________ on a secret mission,
Contact's (5)____________ down,
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion,
There's a (6)__________ on the telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well it sure is (7)________ in (8)________ (9)__________________ city,
Contact's (10)__________ (11)__________ show,
I've got a code which can't be broken,
My (12)________ (13)__________ seem to close,
Well, I'm standing (14)________ in the silent city,
Shadows (15)______________ down,
I'm disconnected but I don't need pity,
The night's gonna burn on slow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now ain't it funny that I feel (16)________ Philby,
A (17)________________ on a (18)______________ 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 (19)______________ crazy,
Tell me, what is going on?
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 (20)________ a long, (21)________ way (22)________ home,

Now ain't it (23)______________ that I (24)________ like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a (25)________________ city
I can't come in from the cold
