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 come in from the cold,
I'm deep in (1)____________ 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.

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 (2)________ in the silent city,
Shadows falling down,
I'm disconnected but I don't need pity,
The night's (3)__________ burn on slow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now ain't it funny that I (4)________ like Philby,
A stranger on a foreign shore,
I've got my plans and I (5)________ move quickly,
There's a knock (6)________ 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.

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 (7)________ burning,
Makes me feel (8)________ a long, (9)________ way from home,

Now ain't it strange that I (10)________ 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
