Philby by 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 (1)________ in (2)________ the cold,
I'm (3)________ in action on a secret mission,
Contact's (4)____________ down,
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion,
There's a (5)__________ on the telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well it sure is (6)________ in this clockwork city,
Contact's never (7)__________ 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 (8)________________________ but I don't (9)________ pity,
The night's gonna (10)________ on slow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now ain't it (11)__________ that I feel (12)________ Philby,
A (13)________________ on a foreign shore,
I've got my plans and I must move quickly,
There's a knock (14)________ 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, (15)________ 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 (16)________ my mind's (17)________ burning,
Makes me feel such a long, long way from home,

Now ain't it strange (18)________ I (19)________ like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a (20)________________ city
I can't come in from the cold
