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 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.

Well it sure is dark in this clockwork city,
Contact's (1)__________ gonna show,

My eyes never (2)________ to close,

A stranger on a foreign shore,

My cover can't be blown,
It's getting (7)______________ and it's getting crazy,

All night long my mind's been burning,
Makes me feel such a long, long way from home,

Now ain't it strange that I feel (9)________ Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul
